The big drag...out to the island this morning met up with top blokes @kukuwai @veitnamcam his lad and vc’s mate Theo.
The beach was deserted in both directions being a damp, cool morning, this was our first try at dragging this area , so excitement was high and yarns a plenty!
Out with the net and the slow march began, in with the net to find not flounder but a massive sole and his average size mate along with a dozen paddle crabs making an tangle of themselves. With the extra hands the weed removal and crab sort out went smoothly and we had the net back in the tide easily.
Next couple of drags saw more reasonable sole and a monkfish.
The chill set into the damp and one more go was decided upon, Kukuwai and I were on the haul something reasonable hit the trawl! It broke the surface with angry tail shakes , so we beached the net to find another sole and a decent rig .
Many hands made light work of the clean up and pack up. Home with a weed free net and into a hot shower! Perfect start to the weekend!
Thanks to everyone had a great time ..do it again soon when the tides allow.
