We left the harbour around 7.30pm for a couple marks east of the harbour to meet up with Rat-catcher for anovernighter with a slight easterly swell we travelled the 60 km to our first mark to get there at 9 pm
Rat-catcher had gotten a couple of fish so we anchered for an hour or so for some nice bottom reefies including lipper and some big hussar.
We moves then to another mark further 10 km out where it was slow with one nice red at 59 cm and a cod couple kg mark. It wwas very slow with few undersized reds and catches of moke that were returned to the ocean quicksmart.
We decided to go further to some marks before Johnsons Patch where Rat catcher achored up and we kept drifting for the next couple hours with some nice catches of red throat and some big catches of just under reds:( and i lost a nice red at the boat where it looked at me and spat the hooks.
About 4 .15 am mate and i headed off for a camp(not together) for an hour
Dawn came with on and off catches of some reef fish .
6 am saw my brother in law turned up in his SEAFOX for a run and was nice to see that boat travel in the water.
After talking to a mate fishing at another mark we moved ith Rat catcher to chase some spano's but we didn't get any on the troll but the boys on Rat-catcher dropped one. We picked up some nice frying Pan Snapper and that was about us then we stopped at one more spot for some more catches of undersized fish and 15 trigger fish to boot and then to home.
Always good to fish with good friends and of course PERFECT weather
