Great result. Where's Pots Point?

Went out from vic pt yesterday round 11an for an afternoon drifting around and veging out while wetting plastics.....
Did a couple of drifts in glassed out conditions of the arti for not a touch, turned on the mp3 deck and let there be noise, a few drifts at Pots Point for the same result, although I did pass over a large dugong, amazing sight, so tried some squid strips for whiting on the banks near the red...
got 5 whiting and a pike in an hour and decided to anchor up near the wreck there and drown them, had 2 baits deployed and was rigging up third rod when zinnnnnnnnnngggggggggg.... a whiting was swallowed and took off at warp speed, 30lb braid on a 4000 spin rig... picked it up and it was well hooked, thought snapper in the 70s....but it kept peeling line even though I was tightening the drag right up....so rethought bloody shark (again, sick of them), turned on landing light and each time I got it anywhere the boat it took off in another blistering run.... finally got colour and it was heavier set than a shark.... bloody hell a jewie... had 2 goes at netting it with a dodgy kmart fold up landing net....then grabbed the gaff and sunk it in, hauled in the 87cm mullaway, my 1st legal one in Qld waters..... yahooooooo
Fished till 9.20 for his mate and only hooked a huge turtle on 80lb rig, man they go like a D9 and last bait was a just legal grassy which went back.... so afternoon ended up a 10 hour session, lol
have to love the weather for the past week eh ?? looking forward to next outing...

Hi Ozie_3. I have fished over there a few times over the years and find it hit and miss. Cant seem to place a wreck there unless you are talking the Platypus over at Peel?
