Yallingup Banger

Tiimmbo kindly sent down some crays with a mate of ours BG whom is down on a family holiday, he was keen to get out for a fish with his bro in law & so I managed to sort out an early session for them today. I happily played skipper until the black anchor started playing up with the warning beep hitting hard in no man's land, funnily enough as I was going through the checklist of what could be playing up a boat following us from the Quindalup pulled up alongside. Cool, told the boys to throw the drifty & drop down to see what they would do, they followed suit… funny shit! Tell tale was humming, cowling was sweet, no fuel or oil issue… stumped.
Roared off to give it some stick after it subsided & no issue, the pinger in hot pursuit so I dragged him past a bloke setting his drift & he decided to stay there (sorry mate). 5nm further & the phuckin' beeping again & going into limp mode, checklist… nothing, everything sweet. Turn her over again, no issue!! Anyway back to the report & if anyone has any ideas on the issue I would be stoked.

Got to the marks & after a few drifts the boys both drop 2 big dhuie's, not our day. BG then loads up on a beefcake & plays it well to the surface floating well out, I call it for a 20, it looks bigger than a 20 & measures in at 112cm beating the boat record by 3cm.

Yep he's a monster

No lie detectors on board so had to wait for the certified wife's scales at home, comes in at 18.2….. bullshit, I start accusing her of taking two kegger's of the digitals (doesn't go down well). Can't believe it at that size not to break the 20.
BG's brother in law also got himself a nice mixed bag of a hooter BA & Foxfish as well as this double header

Rode home early at a leisurely 13knts & no drama's, weird outboards.
BG is bringing home some fillets for ya Smitty

 Looks like a good day out mate, BG would be stoked with that. Must be the season for motors to play tricks on us, a real pain in the arse not knowing what's playing up with it as well. Am sure the missus thanked you for accusing her of doctoring the scales too. Enjoy the crays, plenty more where they came from too when your up next.

Nice day out Lamby. Good to know that you can get on the pish even with a dodgey motor!!

 

i also would've called that 20. I had one that measured 1140mm, and weighed 22kg, so it wasn't far off.

Skinny

Mon, 2013-12-23 07:38

The big one looks skinny, too much rooting during the spawning season that happens around that area during November / December. Would have expected it to go well over 20 for sure otherwise.

Good way to protect your spots but not too good for the other bloke who will be cursing big time about the low life clingon.
