Mud Island Sun (18th March)

[HH17L]

Left Colmslie ramp around 5.00 am, nice run out to Mud, no wind, nice & flat. Fished the Southern side without much success until around 7am. Moved around to a nice little spot on the Eastern side, which resulted in a few undersize Squire & sweetlip. Heaps of grinners & other small stuff until around 10am when the reel screamed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, after a five minute fight a cod measuring 42cm was netted. Had another couple of bust offs within ten minutes, but no other keepers. All up caught around 30 fish for the day, at least they weren't catfish or sharks. Back at Colmslie ramp around 2pm (burnt to a crisp!!)

Was that Foggy i spotted out there early this morning?

nice fish. i caught one of those today that went 40cm off wello. i know there are a few species of cod, so i checked my little book but could not 100% id the thing and as there are different size limits for all the variety's, it went back in to fight another day! i thoght it may have been an estury??? would i have been right?
