Weekend's Fishing

We went down to the 3 mile off City Beach on Sunday morning looking for a relatively close in spot due to the 20 + knot south easterly that was blowing. The Marmion Angling club were hosting a competition which saw us checked by a safety officer for all the necessary equipment. After this suprise we managed to get out there to find it well and truly blown out and way too weedy to troll. We anchored on a lump in around 20 meters and proceeded to berley up and put lots of different baits out. Eventually Mark hooked up on a couple of small bronze whalers which gave a great little fight on light tackle, with one even taking to the air with a full on barramundi jump. The only other catches for the day were a few scaly macks and small wrasse, it seemed that the sharks must have been spooking everything else in the area. We tried changing spots once and drifting along a few pinnacles without any luck. We bled the sharks straight away and lightly beer battered them with fresh bread. Was quite a delicious feed and one that would rate up their next to the best table fish.
Heres a few snaps of the catch:
