Fish from the weekend
Made the most of the good weather this weekend and got the boat out both days. Saturday started with some bluefin, took 1 for bait and 1 for a feed then released 5 or 6. That was enough of that so off for a bottom bash, picked up a double header of dhus both 60ish on the first mark. I was pretty happy to get them both in after untangling them from a line and the sea anchor. Then went to have a jig but found some new ground on the way, 3 drops and we filled our bag with 2 reds and 2 blackass. Top day and 2 pbs upped for myself
Today started much the same grabbing one tuna for bait and releasing a couple then straight to the ground I'd found yesterday. The fish were on the chew again and we picked up some more reds a pink and another blackass. Highlight of the day was the 2.5m shark we had chasing most of our fish up, almost had his head in the net while chasing one of the reds. If only the weather was like this every weekend.

Well Done
That blackass looks massive. They loose colour as they get older/bigger in my experience. That one is almost white!
Seem to be more red snapper around lately. Are you metro?
We went out on Saturday and only caught wrasse and sambos
. Heaps of boats out (from Cockburn).

That blackass was the biggest I've ever seen, went 62cm. Yes metro, all the reds were from around 80m, usually the deeper water holds more reds.

Nice couple of bags. I do think blackarse seem to get uglier as they get bigger!

Well done guys
That's a cracking black butt I didn't think they grew that big, I would have been stoked with the one you got the second day as well.
I'm assuming they still taste good when they get that big?

They are only supposed to grow to a maximum of 58 cm and the current record is only 3.00kg exactly.........that is truly a once in a lifetime specimen .....well done !
