Had someone put a deposit on the boat over the weekend and with the weather looking pretty good for monday i thought i'd give it one last run. Left manly about 9:00am - headed past the 20 odd boats at Harry's and the 15 or 20 in the Rous and over South Passage Bar. Had a pretty easy crossing - except for nearly hitting a big dugong which definately suprised me then headed for the 29's.
First spot all i got was just undersized (34cm) pearl perch so moved a few hundred meters and had a constant stream of 35cm - 45cm squire until i hooked something a bit better and after a short fight had a decent snapper on board. Measured 80cm and 7kg. Kept this one for a feed and tried for a few more but back to the small ones.
Moved spots again and continued to get heaps of small 25cm - 30cm squire, had a bit of a feed and watched the whales for a bit then decided to head home. Stopped at 1 more spot on the way and hooked something with a bit of fight, wasn't sure what to call it for but it ended up being a 7kg mac tuna, plenty of pan size and smaller squire here but left them biting so i could get home before it started getting cool.
Sat on 44 kph the whole way home in near perfect conditions (most of the way).
Regards,
Lachie
