    If Pinhead keeps this up before you know it he will have his own fishing show.

    This was the trip I was trying to replicate from the day before. Better looking crew that day.

    Rob was back again, this time with his girlfriend Karlie and mate Cael. This time it was only a half day. The weather was great and we left in the dark to get a dawn bite but after a bit of sounding it looked like it was going to be tough. I tried one bommie that is super shallow and I don't sound much but after a couple of drifts of nothing it was time to keep going to find fish. We sounded out a heap of marks that were bare. It must have been the rain. Eventually I found half a show and we had a drift.

    There wasn't much on the sounder but the fish kept coming. Rob started off with a nice grass sweetlip then the snapper started. Mid drift of the second drift and the sounder lit up. The fish were on. All nice size too. They kept about six and let a good six to eight legal snapper go including the biggest of the day, Karlie's 760mm model. There were a few undersize ones mixed in so it made for a good morning. We sounded out a heap more reef before finding a couple of nice shows in 50m of water. We pulled one more squire here and a few undersize pearl perch before it was time to head in.

    Karlie's fish.



    Releasing it.



    Cael's fish.



    First snapper blood on the 1.5oz TT Blade I have been trialing.

    LOL brett..you know I am just a decrepit old bloke..I was having trouble keeping up with the young bucks on board as it was. Didn't want to stress the old body too much in one day.

    What the hell is going on Greg
    First legal snapper on a franger of all things.
    Wasn't it not long ago you used the thanks button for the first time
    Maybe they go hand in hand.Put a couple of sneaky thanks in and see if the snapps follow.

    Cheers Dazza
