Saturday fishing
Well after a quick chat at the ramp with Matty and crew we all headed of with the forcast being good calm conditions were expected .On arrival at the first spot the wind was around 15knots and swell were making the water quite lumpy.After a couple of hours things were not looking good for the ice box was still empty with only one sargent baker and a cuttlefish to show .We headed north a few miles and found some fish on the sounder . A soon as lines hit the bottom we were getting fish not big ones but it was a start after a few drifts Jesse hooked the fish of the day only to be cut of on the coral after a minute into the fight .After lunch we headed in as we couldn't see conditions improving.The swell had pick up and some nice breakers were rolling over the three mile ,and close to shore the wind had dropped .Finished the day with 10 dhuies biggest around 7kg.1x Black bum 1 baldie and a couple of cuttlefish .Got another tagged dhuie tagged 56 days ago grown 10mm still in the same area it was tagged.

I am with you on this one Uncle
i hope it comes out differently but i have a feeling our info from the last program will be proved correct again.On the plus side it will show we did it right and it had no right to be dismissed in the way it was.I just need a few good days now so i can get back out there.
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

I hope to prove you wrong I
I hope to prove you wrong I think some will hang around the same ground but I think they travel around a fair bit .we have dived lumps full of fish and crays and two weeks later nothing even the crays jumbos and females have all gone just a baron lump .We tagged 30 dhuies on one spot and now the fish have moved on those tags will turn up somewhere i hope that will be very interesting .
