Thanks to Wayne(Fish 06) for a top day out of Mindarie yesterday

 I went out with Wayne yesterday from 7-3 out of Mindarie for a fish after calling a couple of trips off due to the weather. After the storms on Thurs night I woke up to clear conditions and made my way north to Mindarie to meet up at the ramp.  We headed out to Waynes spot and started off the drifts in some pretty good conditions.  We picked up a couple of sgt bakers and wrasse etc so we moved spots slightly further south after seeing a craypot in the middle of some pretty flat hard ground with some fish shows on his furuno 585.  Started the drift again and it wasnt long before Wayne hooked up properly and up came a nice dhuie.  Only a few minutes after that I got a good hit and was on also, another dhuie just slightly smaller.  

We moved spots again out to another 10 mts deeper to try for some other demersal species and I downgraded hooks in hope of a baldie or kgw.  After a while I got a fox fish and a fair bit later Wayne got another Fox Fish which was the biggest he and I had ever seen.  I switched over to my 20lbs outfit which turned out to be a good move as I got an undersized dhuie which was released in good health as I had brought it up nice and slow on the smaller gear.  We moved inshore for a final go at KGW but it was not to be with just some more butterfish coming up before heading back to the ramp for 3pm.

Dhuies were estimated at 10 + 8kg. I got about six bags of four decent portions + wings from the smaller dhuie, I gave the head and frame to my neighbour for his wife to cook fish head curry and scaled/gutted the foxfish to have whole one night.

Bloody nice day out on the water, cheers for having me along.
