Been fishing down this way for about 12yrs and have never caught one myself, seen a few pics of others like Harro's though. Maybe a strong Leeuwin current is a factor?
a good start getting a small @5kg Dhuie first drop, then a nice Queenie next drift. Then this baldy came out of nowhere a short time later. Was pretty hard going after that though we did pickup a nice Blackbum to round out the bag.
Was certainly some width to that baldie, fingers crossed a few more have made the trek down mate one of my fav eating fish. Looks as though the trailer is have some rollers put on her lol, thinking of a run early next week r u working??
Nice one Matt. The one and only thing I miss about fishing Two Rocks is the Baldies. Use to get heaps there but haven't got one down here yet. I think they are the best eating fish around.
7m Trophy Walkaround, really impressed with the features & only have a few tweeks to do. Did have some trouble on the quindalup ramp with not enough water underneath me to float her off so we ended up at Abbey which was much easier.
Very happy mate, the new sounder & plotter set up works well. The lowrance tucked nicely into the dash with the furuno on top & out the way on travel. Tried phucking around with the trim tabs en route mate big mistake, I was flinging the boys around on some calm water. Fishing wise loved it mate, 3 of us drifted along comfortably stuck to me usual spot.
Matt took line honours hitting up quality fish very quickly on some fresh bait we picked up heading out, we got out a bit too late however despite an early start with a few dramas at the ramp. Dhuie, Queenie, Baldie & BA come up with the first few drifts then not a cracker after with the some showings on the sounder but no interest.
Saturday mate, with bells on & be good to see you & Johnny. No doubt Tiiimbo will be in usual fine form!!
Hopefully next time you get better weather off the cape. It was pretty good till about 10am then the Sly come in and slopped it up. Nice to get a feed too.
well done matty, to catch one you have deffo found some nice ground well done,
nice boat lamby 7m trophy, hooter boat,
i,m out this weekend , looking for deckies , me thinks micky is a keen young lad ready for slaying and killing the keg after, matty if u wanna come out let me know,
wel done boys,

La Niña
A big La Niña is associated with a good leeuwin current and, if you go back to that map of cyclones, lots of cyclones getting a long way South.

Matt, we used to see heaps of them diving in geographe bay.From tiny little ones to 8 or 9 kilo thumpers so I reckon they breeding down there.
Shot a couple at augusta and hamelin too over the years.
Didnt see as many on the west coast but in the bay they are plentiful. . .
