Twitchin and Trollin...
Hey crew here's a quick report on my latest adventure headed out yesterday around 10am after waiting for a howling NE to drop..
About half way to my first spot the ocean glass offed and here are the results for the day....
Awesome conditions to start the day..
First spot we hit was a shallow lump in 17m a slow drift flickin plakkies produced a just legal Dhu (released) and this School Mack on placcy for my mate Mak (Fishncrazy)..
After Mak caught the small Mackerel I decided on a troll behind a reef system not far away and first up was this little Sambo which took a liking to the Yo Zuri..
While we releasing the Sambo a nice Spanish Mak decided to free jump 15m away from the boat so we knew we were in the right area....
And sure enough 2 mins after setting the spread this healthy 14kg Spanyola nails the Yo Zuri.. Great fun on the Stella 5000 Sw..
After the first Spanish they were everywhere it was double hook up city... Mrstwitchemup was stoked with her first ever Spanish Mackerel of about 10kg..
And one more Spanyola caught on a Stiffy lure... It was an awesome hour of Trolling landing 3 and dropping/bitten off by another 3..
After the trolling mayhem and the weather getting better I decided to head out to a nice lump in 38m where I picked up this southern Harlequin fish on plakkie which I haven't seen up this way before...
Second drift over the lump and "BANG" Mak loads up big time after an epic battle on Stella 5000SW and pe 3 he somehow manages to land himself this monster 19kg Sambo..
After sorting through bulk 40 - 50cm Pinkys and small Dhus Mrstwitchemup has her Squidgy Flickbait crunched by this 7kg male Dhu which was the best Dhu and a keeper for the day...
So all in all a great day on the water with plenty of fish caught by all..
Cheers for the read...

Good fish and great
Good fish and great conditions! Thats the combo you want to see.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Great day out on the water for you. Very nice results for sure.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
