Left two rocks at midday and hit one of my spots in the 30's that usually produce. Fished for about 10 minutes without a bite, sounder wasnt showing much and not even the usual little reef pickers were biting. It was a very slow drift with hardly any wind so decided to float an unweighted mulie off the back. It was only in for about 5 minutes, i saw the line tighten up, rod bent over a bit then went slack. The mrs then pointed to the sounder and i couldnt quite believe how many fish were under the boat. Looked over the side and i could only just make out a big school of tightly packed fish swimming slowly deep under the boat. Looked just like a school of salmon so out came the 40g silver twisty on my 4kg combo. Threw the twisty out, let it sink deep then started cranking and hooked up. Good fish took heaps of line, went deep for a while then came up, it was the southern blue in the picture and along side and behind it were 5-6 more following it. Twisty out again, let it sink deep, handed the rod to the mrs and told her to start winding fast. She hooked up and this fish screamed off along the surface, had it on for a while and it spat the twisty. I threw out again, hooked up and dropped another one then that was it they were gone, was a few minutes of good fun for one fish landed. Went out deeper to the 40's to a spot i know holds dhuies cause ive had to put a few good ones back there in the past - not a bite! tried a few other spots for nothing was very slow fishing. Mrs kept saying go shallower, ( which i never do for dhuies and baldies) so to shut her up i went to 24m and bugger me hooked up the 88cm -  9.2kg dhuey in the photo. Fished for another hour but nothing else was biting. Was a slow afternoon but still had a good time and got a good feed! Thanks for reading
