South Coast at its best

[Basil D]

Planned a trip down south with Chris Pongrass 18ftr

I have some pest control work needed at the property at sanctuary point and Chris offered me a hand to the work as buddys do.

At the same time why not have a fish, plenty of food, drinks, boys time out, work and play

Judging by the photos it was all play, Just dont tell the wives 🤣

Nice reds  congrats

Great stuff mate, well done. Quality fish in that bag.

Must be the most Red Rock Cod caught in one session? Not too sure I would keep them with that great bag of Snapper though. Please don’t start with the “poor man’s Lobster” again, been down that road and debated it too many times.

[jenno64]

too much fun!

What a trip it was and an amazing bag too!

[mrsswordfisherman]

What a great trip that turned out to be @Basil D and @Pongrass18ft love this report

[Larkin]

haha, not sure how much work was done Basil! 😂 

Nice haul of reds!

[Yowie]

Great bag of fish there Basil and Chris. Some good sized reds as well.

As Noel said, the most red rockies in one haul I have also seen.

Cracker, Snapper.

[LuckyFil]

Looks like great fun and some good catches of reddies.

I'm interested in how you clean the red rock cod without the risk of getting spiked by the little buggers? I know their spikes are quite painful

Cheers

They are pretty simple once they are dead, when they are kicking around makes life a bit difficult.

If ever motivation was required to do some work down South, you guys have found it. After such a very successful "working bee trip" methinks there will be a lot more work needing to be done on the place.

Well done Basil and Chris on managing to squeeze in a little fishing as you toiled away on the "things to do list". Great photos to accompany the storyline too. Hard to believe it was a serious work experience with the number of quality fish on display. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Cheers, bn
