Actually Went Fishing (twice)

[PaddyT]

Couple of quick reports-got out on Wednesday chasing kings-plenty of rats around , got a dozen or so up at LR-unfortunately all small , livies,softies,lures all working -fish actually a pain on the livies killed them rather than swallowing properly. Discovered i had a fuel contamination issue which i kind of resolved before yesterday. 

Was a bit cautious yesterday because of the fuel issue but chucked the marlin gear in and pushed out into the slop-didnt make it as wide as i would of liked but dragged plastic and burned dinosaur bone for a few hours in about 100m of water, marked one fish ,couldnt get it to come up, plenty of bait and dolphins, nice blue water between 22-23, bait was mainly small pilchards other than the one sounder mark only saw dolphins. On the way back in got a couple more rats and saw a nice hammerhead just off North Head.
