Broughton reds

I’m going to have to follow both of you.... because I only managed the one pan sized red (40cm) yesterday! ? Although I lost what I think was a thumper when he wrapped me around the only structure in 5m over sand - the chain of a public mooring buoy on the north side of Broughton. ?

One fish. $60 worth of fuel. But I still had a great day on the water!

And I have to get onto those kingies, too!

Come to think of it ?, I probably should focus on one species at a time, instead of snapper, marlin, kings etc. all in one trip! ?

Trouble is, that’s what you do when you don’t fish often enough! ?
