Got up at 4:00am this morning to go for a fish. Hit the Point Perron boat ramp launched by 5:20am. No surprise to seeing cars already in the car park but only a few. There was a fair bit of weed on the surface and on our way out to some spots, bait schools were showing up here and there in mid water so I chucked out a lure. 10 minutes of trolling, the rod goes off and we ended up pulling in a little tuna. I gaffed it boat side and it bled like a stuffed pig. We continued on out to one of my spots but no fish on the sounder. There was a boat a fair way off and it came right over my spot and continued on, bloody wanker. If you're going out 25-30km and don't want to do your own hard yards, then don't go out that far. I was pretty filthy as it had taken a few trips out to find that spot. No fish there so we went out further. Plenty of fish on the sounder on the next spot but little pickers. After a bit of driving and sounding around, my mate pulls up a nice queen snapper. Haven't seen one of them for a while. A little while later, my mate pulls up another fish, a big black ass and I'm starting to think that my lucky side of the boat has gone sour. Not to worry as not long after my bait is hit. I thought at first it was something small but then as I started getting it off the bottom, it goes nuts. I thought it was a rat sambo to start off but I finally get it boat side for a ripper of a queen fish. Pretty sure it was a frisky male if you look closely at the photo, stupid fish. Not too bad and into the esky but not much more happening. Back in at the ramp by 12:30 and holy crap, the car park was full to the brink with cars parking on the verges as no spots were left.
