Yesterday's Banger

 Headed out into the 20's again but no takers with just pickers so headed to a spot I hadn't fished in a while, it was 12.30 and had been on the water for two hours without a fish in the kill tank. 5 mins into the drift and bang got this boy, 5 mins later deckie had his wife. My boy then nailed a cranking Baldy to top off the day. 12 crays in the pots rounded everything off nicely, beers went down a treat at the filleting table. He came in a smick over 11kg but my mate who was 100m away pipped me by 1.5kg on a bigger model. Great day on the water.

 Sounds like an awesome day with great results, Nice pic ....well done 

I spent some time out there yesterday and it was perfect for a few hours however didn't manage to bring home any keepers.

Caught a couple of undersize Dhue's and pinkies and had a great time.

Looks like the next day for me will be Boxing day if seabreeze is on the money.

What depth was that beauty caught ? Bait ?

Sounds like I need to try the Occy next time 

I was in the 40's on similar ground with the odd very small "lump" and could see fish on the sounder but couldn't get them excited.

I tried squid, pilchards and soft plastics and managed to hook a few undersized but failed to hook a couple of decent takes...had a couple of those moments when you think

"oh yea this one is decent" ...only to come up empty handed.

Regardless, it was a great day out there and I enjoyerd every minute of it with the boat performing well.

Next time I hope to have pics to share like yours
