With the forecast looking good for the weekend we headed out early to fish a few deep bombies on the way to the reef. We were greeted with a flat sea ( good for a change )and arrived at our destination some 40 mile out just on sunrise and with a quick sound around things looked very promising so down went the baits.
No sooner had the baits hit the bottom they were smashed and a solid red and trout hit the deck but with my line tangled with the trout. As we were trying to untangle it something smashed my bait so after trying to slow down the braid with my bare hands(ouch) and finally getting the tangle out a big dirty chinaman fish was boated. ( Dam it )

After a few more drifts and some more reds and pinkies we head out a bit wider to a bombie I found last trip only to pull up short as I came across a nice bump on the Koden and after having a second look this new Spot X looked great.
Lines down and bang , triple hook ups of big reds ,pinkies, trout and lipper nearly every drift , everyone was stoked especially me mate Crowley who got his pb red of 11kg and his biggest bar cheek trout.

Crowleys 11kg red

With the esky looking good already we finally got to where we were going originally and with the tide still coming in this spot produced some more quality fish but as the tide slowed the spot shut down so I decided to hit the reef and fish the outgoing tide for some trout and red throat.

Walesy and Crowley with a good haul
We fished some shallow reef for a few trout but things were a bit quiet so I went out a bit deeper which provided some good trout and red throat but the old grey suit theives started to play havoc once again so we rigged up a couple of ribbon fish and went for a cruise around the reef . After about 15 minutes the reel screamed off and a solid spanyard of 18kg was spraying blood in the boat . Gave it another shot only to catch a sharky mackeral so he was slabbed up so we went for some more trout before sunset only to be hammered by sharks again and that night was the same with only a couple of fish boated so out came the shark lines for a bit of fun before we crashed out.

Nice spanish caught on a ribbon fish
Next morning we were up for some early morning trout and rte with little success with only a few being boated ( dam those Fu#@in sharks ) but we did manage to get another spanish on a floating pilly out the back . We ended up leaving early in search of a couple more reds to get our bag but fishing was slow today so after a few good lipper and a nice red was boated we headed home ( had no beer left also )
