Yellow Tail Kingfish
I had the day off work on Monday so took the boat up to Two Rocks for a fish.
One of the trailer tyres blew out as we got to the boat ramp so we spent about 30 mins changing the tyre. Rusty lug nuts are a pain in the ass.
The weather was looking a bit dodgy with some rain clouds rolling past so we stayed in close and tried bottom bashing inside the 3 mile reef but nothing was really biting.
After a while we changed tactics and went for a troll along the back of the three mile reef. After about an hour or so of trolling my rod went off with a big run. I had a good long battle and eventually managed to bring in this beast:
My mate also had a big run on one of his rods shortly afterwards however it was on his little rod and whatever it was managed to spool him.

That would have made up for the disappointing start of the day.
