G'Day
Sunday morning left the Kawana ramp at 6 am, side by side with Smithy going out through the leads.
Opened her up and headed Noth, found conditions a bit crappy, but it may have had something to do with the speed, after much complaining from the deckie, I pulled back to about 45km/hr, put the tabs down and took it easy.
Arrived at spot Z after a hour 35mins, bit of sounding around and found a show in 70 metres.
Bit quiet for a while, but Bob the deckies steady burlying over the sidestarts to work, my rod bends over, after a bit of grunting up comes a 80 cm snapp, easily a PB for me.
Pulled another couple of smaller specimins then things went quiet so we went for a look around, Bob was lying down comfortably in the bunks by this stage![]()
Went back to the original spot for the change of tide, put the anchore down and stayed for the afternoon, left at 4pm and made the 73k's back in 70 minutes.
Travelled 155k's, used about a 100 litres of juice, not bad considering I was into it on the way home.
AJ somewhere around the 12k mark, my first one, best Maori 4.5kg's.
Cheers
