G’day raiders,
Headed out this morning with mate and fellow raider @Woodsy1. It’s been a while since the both of us have been out. We were keen and left early. Pitch black and some fog about it took a while to get to our destination, all the while being mindful of the migrating whales.
Got to our spot at first light and began to throw sps! Very little wind, swell and current. It took a while for the first fish but Woodsy came up tight and landed a decent 45cm snaps. Next was my turn and I’ll boated a healthy 55cm one. We moved a few spots with the drift and wind changing every time making it hard to hit the mark. We changed locations again but now the wind was up and helped a consistent drift. We drifted straight over some bait and boom! I came up tight to a thumping red that gave a good account of itself. Some manoeuvring around the boat was needed but a well netted snaps was now onboard going 75cm. I then realised that it was Woodsy’s lure I borrowed, his boat and he netted the fish for me! How rude! But what a champ he is!
We made our way back and hit a few other spots for one snaps at 35cm released. Then cruises back at 30 knots in sublime conditions!
Yet another great trip and great company and I’m not talking about the whales, dolphins or scenery. Thanks Woodsy!
Cheers scratchie!!!
