Weekend
Well i managed to score another friday out of the office and went for a fish with my old boy. It was basically a copy and paste day of last Friday with light/moderate north easterly's.
Out of Woodmans Point at about 9 ish and after a quick drift over some weed and play with jiggs after watching birds working, we headed to Mewstone. We came across a big school of Herring and put the pick in. After catching a feed at a fish per cast, and watching a sambo charge at one of my herring, Dad started playing on the bottom (in 4m of water), and i was flicking around for Tailer.
Two skippy, a siver bream, and a rat sambo were landed over the next 20 minutes, and that on top of 13 herring, we had our feed. We proceeded to put (at about 25 knots) over to Stragglers and went through the reef (only spots you could go in no swell and an easterly breeze) and found more and more herring.
We decided to head across to Carnac for a feed but came across a big bait ball at The Roarers, with YTK's hitting it once or twice. After not even getting a look (you could see the fish), we headed over to Carnac and sat on 29/30 knots all the way home again. Whole day out on 16l of Fuel.
On Sunday we were back out again, this time to have a dive at Rotto. Parked at Leeuwin and headed out. The swell made my usual spot (in 3m) a bit murkey, so we went to another spot. Never seen so many crays in my life, but they were very skittish. Ended up with 9 for the day with two tarred girlies which went back. Once again, my jumbo spot in Thompsons bay
Ended up with 6 keepes.
Funnily enough, it was the weekend that i christened my Xtreme cooler and picked up more produce than in the last two years combined.

Last two years, i have landed one shark and 13 herring....in total.
It is far too big for the boat, but i will have to cut out the seat (behind the centre console) and make it an esky seat as i wont leave without it now.
