My favourite card.....the 3 of Diamonds

[ffejsmada]

Hit the water mid afternoon today looking for some Trevors and a Queenie or two.
There was a distinct lack of bait showing on the sounder, looks like it would be a tough session.
How wrong was I!

Things started off slowly, after about an hour of flicking my lure, I hooked up. Nice solid fast run, didn't know what it was as it definitely fought different than the norm. After a solid little fight I was stoked to see a nice 48cm Diamond Trevally slide into the net.
You beauty, I love these fish, my favourite fish to catch.

After the mandatory mug shots, off he goes, and swims away nicely.

Start flicking the lure out again..............tap, tap, I'm on again. This fish feels similar to the Diamond I just caught.
A screaming run had the 1000 stradic singin' the high notes. Another dogged fight
and another Diamond hits the net! This fish went 50cm. I'm happy!

More mug shots, and off he swims.

How awesome is this I was thinking, 2 Diamonds in a session.

Anyway, out goes the lure again, nothing happens for an hour when I get that tap, tap and watch my lure being played with. Whack, I strike and I hook up.
The stradic is in pain, squealing as this fish runs and runs and runs. I had to chase it with the leccy to get some line back!
I finally get everything under control and the circling and head shaking starts.
I actually called this for a GT, but no, I slide the net under another Diamond!!!!
This third fish went 54cm.
Ha ha, I'm pissing myself laughing thinking can I get another one?

I shouldn't be greedy, 3 in a session's enough!

Out goes the lure and after a couple dozen casts I hook up. This fish is definitely different, certainly not a Trevally. An undersize Jew hits the deck of the boat, at 43cm, he gets a reprieve and is swimming again.
I landed another little jewie, at only 35cm, he was someone elses capture as he had a tag in him! I'll pass on the details to fisheries tomorrow.

It was just on dark now, so I tied on a popper.
I saw a swirl and cast right next to the boil. Bloop, bloop, I'm on. You beauty.
Another hard running fast fish, the line started to arc up and he explodes out of the water. Queenie. After 2 jumps he buggers himself out and is easily netted.
Not a bad fish at around 56cm. I kept this fella, I've never eaten a Queenfish before so we'll see how he goes on the tooth.

All other fish released, great session for sure that one, I was back at the ramp at 6.15. Awesome!
Love those Diamond Trevally!

Sorry Nugg, no chance. I've already given you two new avatars, no chance for a third. Sorry
