Todays Efforts with some giggles
With this being the last ditched effort to go for a fish before i fly out, (Troy & Blake had work and school...lol....suckers) it was decided to take a couple of my good mates out to the fads, both had never caught a dollie before, with my mate whitey never been to the fads either.
we left woodies on dark and the shits and giggles started early, seems they did not trust my night time driving????
anyhow, on the way out i was telling the boys we are in for a good day, as usal it was take the piss out of fisho-ron's fishing stories...
well i showed them a thing or two
set up a easy 2 lure spread and first pass resulted in a double hook up!!!
now its my turn to laugh as my 2 mates, mazza & whitey, struggled to boat there fish, trying to drive and teach them how to pump and wind was funny as hell, just wish i had the camera going.
mazza's first ever dollie boated and turned out to be the biggest for the day @ 110cm, not to bad for a first PB!!
we all got into the dollies with 12+ caught/released.
seeing we bagged out on the dollies at 9.30am it was time to move back to some shollower water looking for the dhuys and what a move it was!!!
whitey with his first size dhuy and new PB @ 80cm
saying he was happy was a understatement....we heard about it for the rest of the day!!!
i followed up with a nice b/ass and a baldie at 58cm and a couple of small pinkys.
we also got a couple of sharks today with one coming from the fads at 3+mtrs.
all in all a great day out with some good mates and some good fish for all.
cheers ron

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

not sure on the species mate,
not sure on the species mate, but while drift baiting at the southern fad(forgot the name) i seen a big dark shadow on the surface right next to the fad, i thought it was a whahoo,maccie,saily or something and then my mates line took off in a hurry.
10min later a 2.5 - 3mtr shark pop up, looked like a bronze, but a shark looks like a shark to me so not sure.
cheers

Haha that sounds like a dad thing to do! Least your still officially holding the record though mate! I'm still kicking myself cause I caught one that went 150+cm and forgot to grab a pic of the fish next to a tape measure!
Some great fish caught above sounds like it was an awesome day. Landing solid metro dollies and dhus all in the same trip it doesnt get much better than that, congrats mate!!
