Hi all, first report for me and second season with the boat. still looking for ground when the weather plays the game, last season was hard with outtings and no fish, manage to pull a few sized dhue myself but the best fish caught on the boat have always been by the deckie. This is an issue for the wife recons the only fish i can kill are the duaghters gold fish.

So yesterday being a day with a leave pass and the weather looking reasoable we decided to head out and have a look around, tryed a spot from last season which had my brother cath a 18kg Dhue to my none, first three fish were good size Srg Baker which quickly went on ice but this did not entice a Dhue, then followed my first and only fish for the day a decent Break sea cod that went 46cm, this went in the box for my conferdence of catching big and better fish was not good. My mate then open his account with a break sea cod also that went 50cm.

We decided on a move to a spot found by luck last season that had biggfish land three big snapper to my none in a ten minute period, first drop had my mate on again with a doble header Queenie and baby amber jack ( i think ) second drop my mate again double header of pinkies, the larger we kepted and the smaller returned strong. This was by 930 so we thought the chances of another class 1 would be good but it didnt eventuate the weather turned dead not a fart of wind. that was it not a fish landed after that even with all attempts made. headed in at 3 with a few keepers.

Well i guess persistance is the key, i gain somthing out of every outing and the deckie is always happy. took a few photos of the day. i enjoy the photos and reports on this site weather big or small so thought i would contribute.
