Todays Fishing
Went to GI and 5 fathom bank today, targetting snapper and dhufish but haven't been able to get any due to lack of knowledge and spots. Got a few little skippy and hooked a massive eagle ray which went crazy putting on an awesome areobatic performance. Released well after a good fight.
Interestingly, hooked a little whiting which was about 3m from the boat when it got hammered and proceded to get mauled by a metre long spaniard or small shark. I cannot confirm which one it was but it was big and burnt through my 7kg braid which broke when it hit the motor. Was in about 12m of water on the edge of 5 fathom
Also saw Steve from Fishing WA at the Cockburn Members Ramp launching a 680 Haines Patriot with a big 300hp Yamaha on the back.
Anyone else go out and how'd you go?

You will get to the pinkis
You will get to the pinkis and dhuis soon. I just started sounding for spots as well and i found one which produced some fish last week but just a st.baker today. I usually troll for tuna and when i come across some good looking ground i stop and drop a line. I havent caught a nice dhui on my own boat yet... but iam sure it will hapen, hopefully

We went to Rockingham. Only caught blowies but pulled plenty of crabs, only 4 were large enough out of around 20. :)
To find me you have to think like me. To catch me you have to be faster then me. To be me.... HAHA you must be joking!
