Travelled across the bay on monday and headed for our destination in glassed out conditions. not long after arriving i landed this horse of a fish on a pillie. 10.2kg he went and 98cm. we got a feed aswell.

headed to the same spot again yesterday in a NNE about 10knts. Stand out fish of this trip was this 6.25kg parrot caught on a king prawn. awesome fish. again we got a feed of reefies.
