Hi,


Chris, Paul and I headed out to the barwon's straight after work saturday arvo arriving at the ramp a little after midday, to do a overnighter.

Run out was magic sitting on 24 knots which we made it out there in fairly short time.

When arriving it was like a car park with boats everywhere and one of them sitting right on top of my mark so we found some other ground and had a few drifts with paul pulling a nice snapper to get us of the mark nicely. We picked up another couple of fish and then decided to drop the anchor on a lump and get ready for the evening bite.

Didn't take long and there was constant fish coming over the side snapper and pearlies, only keeping the bigger stuff. Through out the night we got 7 pearlies which we kept and had our bag limit of snapper in short time throwing back heaps around 2 kilo mark.

Also had about a 12 to 14ft tiger shark cruising around the boat which slowed things down for a while so we decided to have a break and have a few drinks and dinner and called it a night around 930.

Wind really picked up through out the night to about 15 to 20's of ne but seemed to ease a little in the morning which we had a move and picked up the rest of the bag limit of pealies. We then up anchored to try some shallower ground in around the 50 metre mark and chris picked up a rat kingie and some more squire which we through back and headed home back at the ramp by midday.

Had a great trip with good company can't wait for the next one

cheers pete....

Good work Pete,

We figured the evening bite would have gone off in a big way...looks like you cashed in!!

That is one huge mother of a tiger mate...I reckon if I was a fish I'd be off too...none of this "fish are friends not food" stuff... In that first photo - is that piggy in the middle? sorry...just stuck me as funny...been hanging out with Swano too much!!!

they are two nice samples in the second photo

Cheers

Nice catch mate! Love that Tiger photo! I have seen a coupla Tigers out on the Hard over the past couple of months.. Cheeky buggers know which fish to eat when you pull them up! I seen one follow a MILF and not touch it! As soon as a Snapper came up...bang he nails it!!
Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Pete

Mate, that is a sizeable tiger At least she didn't steal too many of your fish! Great catch.

looks like the same ugley tiger i did battle with at 2am one morning on no sleep. and when i saw his ugly head come into the lights of the outsider i will let you imagine what sort of words were spewed @ the deck after battling it for over an hour ( just in case) bloody sharks if they are not stealing reds there sending you to the chioro"s.

that looks more like a white than a tiger the nose looks to be tapering to a point unlike the large tigers having a flattish head, did you get any other pics?

[indy]

Here is a better picture of the shark maybe it is a great white?

Pete,

Definately a white or at the very least a big whaler. You sould have jumped in with it to get a size comparison.
