mud 6/7/13

hi to all.

pretty quiet morning at mud today - fishwise that is, otherwise it was noisy as all buggery. i'm pretty sad to be relegated to weekend warrior status but it is what it is... actually snuck out for a go Thursday too (secretary's a good gal) but it was also quiet with nothing pink on board and just a few small choppers and flatties.

left home at 11 last night to try and get a fish in before the crowds arrived. I spotted some good looking ground on the western side on my way up and decided to park there for the night. didn't get any sleep at all and had my arms stretched by a cat shark, 1 snapper and 1 big suspected cat shark, wobby or ray that had me up anchoring and battling for at least 45 minutes (right up until mossy arrived) before the leader gave and that was that. used cuttlefish for bait with pea size sinkers. all critters caught came way up in the water column as my baits were near surfing. that's it, now time for a couple of coldies and a loooong sleep.
cheers

mate i took a different boat so he prob wouldnt have recognised me anyways.
i would have popped over but the missus was with me and pulling fish left right and centre .. not a good time to move!

Mate I was at Mud this am. Lots of boats. Kids enjoyed some nice undersized wrasse, Moses Perch etc on plastics on the Eastern reefs. On sat the two young fellas did well off peel with a couple of reasonable fish...all zman and one on a hard body trolled. Night north of Peel was nice.
