hi all. following yesterdays adventure at mud i headed up there again today. left wello at 7am and headed for se corner where i caught yesterday. did a couple of drifts for zip so headed to nw side to say hi to mossy and jack. didn't see them so set up a drift. threw my light setup out whilst i re-rigged my deadstick. before i finished rigging up the light setup started screaming away
. knew it was a good one very quickly and spent a good ten minutes getting him back to the boat. 10-15 feet away i see colour and it was an 80+ specimen. a moment later - nothing - threw the hook. absolutely spewin
. those that work at the port may have heard my displeasure. anyways, i call mossy to see where he is and what do you know - he's down the south end looking for me. 5 minutes later he was back up the nw side. customary chin wag and one of mossy's home brewed ginger beers (bloody good too
) and we get back into the drifts. about mid tide a few sweeties come on the chew. landed plenty of small ones and managed a 37cm which went into the box. just before 12 i moved a bit wider out and first cast am on again and a decent fish too. he gave a good account of himself and there was no way he was throwing the hook. i had him by the pectoral fin right through the meaty bit
. 66cm. made me feel a bit better putting a good one in the box even if it was the smaller one. plenty of fish for tea tomorrow. have included yesterdays fish too as it was a dodgy pic.
cheers
