SP Sessions Back On

[Smithy]

Found them again today with a group of concretors aboard, not that I had been chasing them with the Mahi Mahi being so reliable. In close was the only option with the winds we experienced. They finally got the forecast right worse luck for us after two days of light winds on ordinary forecasts.

Went one direction first up and was looking like a bust trip with only the Blue Maori in the box so went 180degrees and came up trumps. They bit all day on the softies as we only got there about 9:00 with one of the 67cms coming at 1:00 and a double hookup at 12:00. Lost a few and got busted up once plus heaps of bumps and hits and throwbacks. Will be interesting to see how they fire if I hit them at dawn. We even caught them with Bananas aboard and first drop for Adam after he had just eaten one!

The blue moari is a bit of a suprise catch Smithy.

2nd legal one from in close now Stu. Quite a few throwbacks as well. Dunno if we have got a legal Brown one on a SP but them and Footballers make up a fair bit of the bycatch from these close reefs. The Browns are loving the livies out a bit wider though. Them and the Sweeties and Gold Spot Estuaries. Yet to hit that good Snapper spot of Tony's this season. There always seems to be boats over there in that vicinty these days for some reason when once upon a time you used to have it to yourself.

Dollys were still there last time I tried for them. Next few trips are all bottom bouncing ones though.

Wade, was waiting for a big report from you about your DI trip. How'd ya go?

gday rob we caught about 22 fish nothing to rave about for the effort we put in. heaps of parrot mostly. 3.8kg iodine bream was prob the biggest surprise apart from aj's and red heads. Long tow to and back from rainbow. Are you out on the water today and tomorow?.
