SW Week
Had a few trips out last week, Poseidon decided to play ball with my work schedule & I was able to head out for some good fishing. First day out had two drifts over an old mark which produced a pinky & BA to the bait boy with a dhu banger on McArthy to me. Decided to head on my way to another mark to see what was happening & stumbled over a small patch loaded with joy which only got marked as a wind squall had us belting back in for cover & to pick up a feed of squid.
Got some phone pics to show what it produced & also some more stuck on the Canon EOS until I can get them off (tech issues) & update the page with the rest of it
Big cheers to Till whom captured these next two pics for me after I forgot the camera, unfortunately I had onboard a 'junior' decky who couldn't handle his brine & tossed his cookies right at the start but hung tough for a few drifts. Kind of screwed the plans of more dhu's, seriola jigging & getting in with the straight hook to evict a pesky bull dolly that's hanging around a certain location that the SW boys will know about.
Alas it wasn't to be however I am sure he should be back down soon to sort unfinished business

Always good to get down there
Always good to get down there for a catch up, and my partner was kind enough to extend a leave pass for Sat.
Bit of a pity about the other deckie though!
Great fish and cya down there again sometime soon!

Nice dhuie mate. Looks a lot
Nice dhuie mate. Looks a lot bigger in the photo than when I saw it with its fillets and wings off.
Those McArthy red mullets are crap aren't they. Never catch anything on them, waste of money.

Hate those McArthy's mate,
Hate those McArthy's mate, trying to get rid of em all esp the red mullet its a terrible colour
The Reg from work calling out dinosaur sounds will disagree with you on those conditions mate but they were not too shabby.
Going to keep a close eye on the mark as it is close to some other great ground that appears a little shut down right now
12 squid Russ in the space of 1/2 hour, no biggy's yet but perfect calamari size will get another day in shortly to stock up for exy bait

All good mate, I remember
All good mate, I remember your posts back when you had the old boy on deck.
How many banana's did he consume ????
Every time you went for a squirt out wide, the wind blew like a mother. Time on the water son
You earned it
Ahem, Always partial to a squid spot brah
