Hey guys went to the ovens yesturday stayed till roughly 10pm swell got a little bit too crazy, was swept off my feet by a huge wave slammed feet down which gave me the grip to stay on land (stoped fishn after that pretty much packed up n left)

The action was decent caught a few good sized keepers couldnt really take many pics as it was too dark and my phone doesnt have a flash

basically caught 5 trevally size ranging from 30-35cm (through 2 back that were too small)

3 snapper 40cm,42cm and 34cm

and a 50cm Pike damn thing gave me grief to take my hook back nice and big chompers on those things

weather was shocking as i said just as the action started the weather turned for the worse so we packed up and left.
