Hi All,

Went fishing out of Two Rocks I want to thank MenoPaul for kindly giving me a spot. Both the Yanchep Paul’s (MenoPaul and Paul’G) took there boats out with MenoPaul and myself on his boat (there was to be another but he was a no show two alarms didn’t go off aparently) and Paul G, Jesse G and Jody on his boat.

Early start we left the marina well before sunrise, it was a bit lumpier than was expected but still comfortable.

We headed out and hit the first spot with fish all over the sounder and Paul almost instantly pulling in a Dhuie, we drifted back over it a few times but nothing else would bite so we tried another spot. The sounder was picking up schools of fish but not many near the bottom, We decided to try a different patch and headed off during the trip we had a few issues with the sounder and decided to catch up with Paul G and follow him around for the rest of the day, Finding him without a GPS was a bit harder than we though but after a while Paul remembered he still had his handheld GPS on board and luckily I had the right batteries in my camera for it.

Once we met back up we drifted a few spots and came across a school of Snook, Yay my first fish for the day, I quickly live baited it and sent it back down and whack I was on, I quickly realised it was no monster so I slowly brought it up.

Paul G yelled out from his boat “Bloody great fight those Nor West Blowies give eh”

And sure enough up pops a Nor Wester  I politely asked him to not call anymore fish for me. I did notice that the Snook was “scaled” and the Nor Wester had taken the Occy so I think that the Blowie had ripped the Snook out of a Dhuies mouth (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.).

Paul picked up a Black arse that had a mouthful of fish that looked like Gobble guts.

Things were looking grim I had only caught a Blowie and a Snook (which was looking very worse for wear).

I then had a hit and run that had me stuffed, bloody powerful and after a tug of war for a couple of minutes it won and reefed me.

It was decided to try a couple of patches on the way back I changed over to a driftbait rig and Paul and I quickly pulled in a couple of Baldies each, While travelling around we saw heaps of whales playing about stopped and took a couple of pics. Paul G said he got a couple of good ones as well.

It was getting late and we headed back, That big Dhu still elludes me . The ramp was packed but we used the side of it and got out pretty quick..

I will let Paul, Jesse and Jody tell you about there day but a quick note It’s a pity Cray fishing season had finished!  hey Jody.
