Just had a great long weekend. We left Geraldton Friday evening for a 4 day Diving/fishing trip. Couldnt belive it the swell was down and nearly no wind makes a nice change to have a pleasent trip over to the islands and not get blown to bits. We got over to the Southern Group of islands about 10pm all keen as to catch a fish but not much bitting. Got up early to see if we had a change but still nothing on the chew. So down for a dive we went and saw lots of fish and schools of bait fish hence the bigger ones not bitting as they would have been full of whitting. I managed to score a 60cm Dhu but i did have to shoot him. There were crays everyware even the Anchor wasnt safe. I also saw an Occy that camoflaged well. We fished lots but without much sucess and not from a lack of trying by the skipper he was one of the best skippers i have ever had. He even proved himself more by drifting over a spot he said was good twice, without scoring any fish on a line but he insisted it was good, so we went over the side. What an amazing dive there where fish everyware just not bitting. I managed to shoot 2 Baldies 4 to 5 kgs as did my dive buddy and i think just about everyone else that went in that dive. I also saw Dhuies, Snapper, Coral Trout and the biggest Mackie i have ever seen would have gone 5 foot. All in all a great escape from the real world and came home with a feed of fish for my troubles. Thanks to the crew i went with had a blast
