hey fellas
rob picked me up at around 3:50am thanks to me sleeping in . Was a fantastic morning, calm as. We crossed the bar. And headed out, we starting trolling around shag rock for a couple of macks but to no avail, we pushed forwards. We rigged up my alvey with the bait jig and tried to catch us some bait, we got about 6-7 slimies and some other reef fish that i cannot remember as well as a chinaman leatherjacket which we released. Anyways we continued to our spot where we started targeting dolphin fish. After about 1-2 hours we scored a beautiful 20 dolphin fish. We figured we would try for some reefies as the dolhpin fish were starting to get a bit spooked. We traveled another 8km to a reef where we made up some paternoster rigs and baited them with fish flesh and the slimy mackeral. First drop i got a pig fish, rob got nothing. Second drop I got a 3kg pearl perch AND a pig fish. I turned to rob as if to say beat that! His next drop he pulled up 4 fish!!!! 3 pig fish and a 4kg pearl perch (im glad he had to work to pull those fish 100m up from the bottom ) Bloody amazing after that it went quiet. It was pretty strange coz a charter boat kept following us everywhere we went from the dolphin fish to the reef, mind you we were catching 4 times the amount of fish they were
All in all I got 4 dolphin fish over 60cm 3 pig fish and a pearl perch fantastic I know what im having for dinner pearlie pearlie!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
cheers jack
p.s sorry that it was rushed but i got to go get these fish filleted
