After work Friday with the wind (not tide) looking great headed out for a semi night fish.

Almost as soon as the lines went down, zzzzzz on the Mrs Saragosa 8000. Ha ha Ha was the thought - shark. But no, a nice size fish appear beside the boat, boga'd on on we went. Almost next drop zzzzzzzzz, again same story, bloody thing runs like a shark on the lightish drag.

In the meantime I am playing with Lacunas jigs and caught two nice triggers but nothing sweet.

zzzzzzzzzzzz goes the Mrs line. Same story with a fat 8kg on the boga fish onboard.

Now I want to play to, so down goes the snelled Mulie on a light drift type rig. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz my turn. Same story.

Now not to bore anyone but there is a problem here. Finally between the 2 off us -- Score 5 to Mrs, 2 to me. No other species of note caught. A few NW U/size snapps and a few sharks, including a turbo version off a 6ft sluggish lemon shark. These things fight like a boring dead wt and had no idea what was on.

Now the problem. Even thought we had a ball because these fish fight like hell, but we struck out. All of the Stinking Fat Sweetlips!!

Normally you find the odd one and you will then say -- good ground, but we found the bloody capital for these not even neighbours fish. All released in Sweet time.

Has any other northern fishos managed to Score a run off these pesky fish?
