What perfect weather to head out to the Hards. Pitty the fish didn't see it that way.
We headed out with a Hards virgin (sorry Lee your Ausfish tag escapes me) promising endless supplies of fish of which we have had experience with ove the last 6 or so trips. .
What a disappointment.
It was a quick trip out in around 90 minutes with excellent shows on the new Furuno 620 but the fish didn't want to play the game.
All up we ended up with around 13 fish. Small Snapper (4), Parrots (2), Trag (1), Pearlies (3) of average size only I might add and a couple of others.
Lee and his brother Mike scored 7 good sized Snapps and a shark.
Something absolutley smoked me which is believed to be a large Ambo. The TLD 25 was on full drag on a 15KG Wilson Live Fibre with 30lb braid with my thumbs trying to stop this thing. It like all of the fish on the day didn't want to play the game.
Any way there is always next time.
I will be searching for more ground closer to home next time and hit the Hards later on.
Cheers
Mark
