Hookup Red

[jtpython]

I had the pleasure of doing the Boyne Tannum Hookup this year again (4 th trip)
Conditions were a little disappionting on the friday after 3 days of good rain 5 inches at home , with a WSW blowing taking the knowledge of a fellow Ausfisher Mangomick we headed to Sable rocks on the saturday morning in freakin Freezing cold conditions ( my crew were very impressed at getting up at 530am after drinking all day friday) with me protected behind the canopy i was happy in one jumper fishing the rest of my crew resembled Kenny off Southpark. We rustled up 2 spanish just over the 1 metre mark followed by a nice sized coral trout and 70 cm spottie then hour before bottom tide nuthin.
Sunday seen my crew a little bit better accustomed to the cold (not as bad as saturday) heading towards 12 mile but 20 kms out we thought buggar that to lumpy and stopped on a spot 28 km outside of Boyne where a heap of other boats had accumalated , found some nice bottom and hooked up 2 lipper before hooking up this 10.5 gutted fella , Then once again after the bottom tide only rubbish fish. Beautiful trip in and weighed fish ended up being the biggest for the weekend, A credit to the organiser's and supportors well run competition hats off to everyone involved.

Nice fish JT and congrats on the prize.

We plugged away at the hookup for a few years even after moving to Brissy, just couldn't seem to hang onto top spot in any species...
There was always some mongrel who came along at the last minute and pipped us at the post lol...

I bet Wayne has weighed in enough prize fish in his time anyway LMFAO.
Sounds like he had a decent weekend of it too.

Well done fellas.

Cheers,
Rich.

The guys i was with told me they seen on the night before the red emporer was 16 kg , i was nearly not going to weigh in , it was only going to be for the daily prize i thought, it was only when i brought it over the guys said it was the biggest brought in
