sundays fish
well to do a first, i decided it was only going to be two of us out today(normaly three) definatly better with two.
the plan looked good, weather looked good and we were off.
left woodys at 6.15am and headed straight out to 60mtr, first problem my navman gps would not aqq sats, oh well i have the hds10 now, so split the screen and all good, power on.
the water was supposed to be nice and flat, it was as rough as guts out there when we got pass the island, then transfering of gps spots to the 10 was a pain in the but.
for the first cople of hours, nothing,nil,f/all, not even a wrasse, and all i could think of was a disscussion with steve (moon and tides were wrong) shit fishing.
but then someboydy must of felt sorry for us because every thing started to work, gps fired up, wind was dropping and my mate had just pulled up our first fish, under size snapper, back he went.
then ever thing started goming over the side, large b/b, a couple of huge rock cod, another under snapper, i got a jew that was mms under(that is four under size jews in two outings now, the big one is coming) so back he went as well, we were catching fish but as usal we wanted bigger.
then it got better again, my mate line went of in a hurry and 5 min later a 92cm queeny on the floor of the boat, then i pull in a 45cm red snapper, another under size pinky.
then my line screams, iam getting excited and theres some yahoos going on until the 1mtr long sambo comes over the side and the yahoos turn to yah only.
all the fish come from 1 spot after we had tried many spots for the day, it was a spot i dint think much of, fairly flat, with only 1 sign of fish on the sounder.
just goes to show you just never know.
except for the early part of the day, it has been our best day ou for a while.
i hope my dogs are happy with there sambo tonight.
cheers ron

Well done Ron,
We struggled a bit earlier on in the day, but the fish came on the bite for us at 11am for a very short period of time. It was enough to get us over the line.

we ate half of one of our sambo's for dinner tonight with a creamy lemon sauce on a bed of mash.also they are nice eating in a tempura batter, but its not the fish for everyone. our rotti hangs around the filleting table for her titbits, no need for cooking , she doesnt give us a chance

sambo
my other half makes the her own curry paste from scratch and we have used many different types of fish for thai fish cakes. We have so far found the smaller sambos working and tasting the best. seem to give off a bit more juice and doesnt dry up as much as say snapper or dhu. Plus would rather eat dhu, baldis and snapper in fillets or small pieces beer battered and fried.
