recent down south trip
Submitted by jamesn on Mon, 2014-03-17 19:29
headed to the south coast for a few days the other week as the weather was looking good, caught a few fish on the previous days but the wind and swell was up and the boat was taking on a bit of water so we didnt want to head out to far. On the third day we first day we tried a lump close in but coudnt even get to the bottom without hooking a sambo, so we didnt hang around there for to long and then headed out a bit further to another lump. After getting some nice fish the batfish came on the bight so we called it a day. the eski was chokas on the way home as we also got a couple a solid gropers and another dhui the day before, was pretty stoked with the catch

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
