Monday trip out for some of our younger members
Took a couple of our younger members (original teenager, young yakker" out on the boat for a fish. Was ugly early morning out deep and some skipper forgot to check the oil and got his alarm and had to head back to the pier:( Since we hadn't caught anything headed back out to the five to one of my old spots and stuck into some big skippy and some pesty wrasse on our small gear.
One of us "YY" wasn't catching anything no matter what side of the boat he fished and of course I had a poke at him! Less than 10 min later he is pulling in a wrasse when this 5.5kg dui came up and snatched it but didn't get the hook...he drops it back down and he dui takes it this time. Fight on with a size 4 (small) hook and herring rig. His first dui and what a way to start; 60 cm and 5.5 kg.
Hopefully fun was had by all and the skippy was good on the tooth but probably not as good as his dui!

Top stuff Ben
Well done boys, thats not a bad return for a morning's fishing. Gotta be happy with that. A PB Dhuie from close to shore in shallow water is pretty special.
And those skippy are perfect for sashimi.

Took no
dhui slabs this time to let him weigh it...skippy was still good on the tooth! It was good for me to take young blokes out as I had to do my own deckie work which I was taking for granted! Wasn't quite as easy as I remembered it! I'll have to give my deckie a thank you next outing.
These guys were very appreciate and a pleasure to have on board. I recommend that all of our skippers give one of the many members that are wanting to head out a ride over the next couple of months. Catching foxfish and skippy and just being on the water is something I think they will remember.
...and for that certain someone who blew me off (screwloose)..that could have been your dhui mate!
Ready for some land based snapper during the upcoming windy session if someone can spare a beacxh rod that I can put my bling on!
Keep your lines tight!

Good work Ben. First dhu is always something to remember. I'm sure they appreciate your effort.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Good job Ben its great to
Good job Ben its great to get the young ones into some fish sometimes its nearly as satisfying to watch the young ones get into some fish as they usually get really excited and it reminds us what its like to be young again and get excited over fishing again
