F@%#^&$# Bananas
Got a call from my old mate Neville asking me to go for a run out on his boat with him and his son John.
Got away at 0700 this morning and the aim was to fish some spots about 6nm NW of Koks island. On arrival found that the spots I'd taken from my gps didn't match the position on Nev's.so after a bit of searching we located them.All ready to fish and out come John with a BANANA---WTF!!!oh well too late to toss it now.
Do about 5-6 drifts right over the spots and not a bite with good fish showing on the sounder.
Moved in to proven fall back spots near Koks and the same thing,drift over spots showing big fish and not even a whiff of a bite.So on to the Koks patch.Result from 6 drifts over real good lumps showing fish was my charlie court[ released], Nev's double header of undersize black snapper [both released] and John's shark that he wanted to keep.
To really rub salt in to the BANANA myth with broke down in the leads coming in to the boat harbour.The Volvo diesel just died,plenty of fuel,motor turns over but no fire.So on the radio and call up sea rescue for a tow in.Bit embarrassing for the local sea rescue president calling up for a tow.
Boat safely back in the pen and will have a look at it tomorrow,not game to today after all the other failures.
