Night fish report.
We left my house with my 12ft dingy to head to leeuwin boat ramp, then motor out about 7nm to our snapper spot in about 22meters of water.
sounded out a lump and anchored up a bit so we drift over the spot with our lines, the current was strong pushing our baits opposite to the drift, very annoying
anyway pulled out the 5k stradic and put a floater rig on it with a whole squid as bait, this was the first rod in the water just as the sun had hit the water, turned around to make my other rod with a patternoster on it, just looped the sinker on when all of sudden the stradic starts screeming off, couple really good runs later and up pops my PB snapper of 92cm, stoked! havent even got the berly in the water yet haha my mate isn't even in the water yet and i've already got a stonker pinky :P
thats when i called up my old man and bragged about the catch :P apparently he wasnt very happy hahaha, now he is annoyed and is going tonight
then it went quiet for a bit for about 30mins, then the bottom bashing rod went off and up comes a port jackson.. great.
couple minuites later the skippy start coming on the bite, for there size the skippy put up a really good fight, going to take my bream rod next time
over the night we ended up getting the 92cm pinky, 50cm kg, small pinkies, 2 dhuys(one was 15cm), hammer head, 2 gummy sharks, bronzie, a big ass cray!, heaps skippy, couple port jacksons, massive yellow tail bream?, think thats all i can remember lol.
ended up being a very good night and it's the 4th time we have been in this spot fishing at night for pinkies and cleaned up on dhuys/pinkies it is also the second time we have got a crayfish on the rod, big ones aswell. going again tonight on dads boat, lets see how they go

Great Snapper
Terrific pinkie Troy and always good to get a PB.
Pulled a jumbo cray off one of the wrecks in 120m a few years back but was berried and had to go back - bugger!
