Todays mix bag

Headed out early today with Joe Amato to beat the rush at the ramps. First stop was to get a feed of squid as it was still dark and our mission was offshore for some deep water species. Bagged 9 in a short time and enough for some squid rings tomorrow night.

 

We made our way out to the deeper waters, on our journey we did some trolling and picked up a nice size striped tuna and two smaller ones.

 

Headed to our destination for some reconnaissance, which was very quiet only to be greeted by Mr Green eye again and again. In saying this we found some good ground with some fish activity on the sounder but not biting.  

 

The afternoon was getting on and nothing really excited me in the fish department, so we head to a deepish spot that I have caught Pink Snapper before. First drift Pinky to Joe, under size went back and I got a bronzy. Second drift Pinky to Joe, keeper and my first Grey Banded cod woohoo. It went 10kg unreal. Third drift Joe got another Pinky and I got a big leather jacket. Last drift I got a nice size pinky that went 4kg.

 

In the end It was a good day and a variety of seafood for dinner tomorrow night.

Were you out at the FADs Frank? Thought I saw a LC out there, but it was a bit far away to make out who was on it!
