But when you hit the run by fuck it’s epic ….

Today was our day ….many photos you’ve seen we’ve being measuring our crays and battling egged ladies …vis and prospecting new spots

Today we hit “dive” rock it’s being our go to for 3 years until it stopped producing…so we where forced / keen / hungry for more turf ..in the last few years we have dived great turf , great shit turf , just turf and lots of of it and occasionally some epic turf …those moments in life when you feel like you’ve won the lottery.

But today we headed home to old faithful, I geared up and dropped down the anchor , I got to the rock to see feelers from the outside …shorts I thought …dropped over the rock to see big fatties everywhere!! Shorts in every nook and crack, but big bombers holding back the true ground with escape holes everywhere,

Went back to the surface VC suited up and we hunted the reef for a feed of nice (not huge crays) , epic vis , saw a small brim , a large school serious travelly, 3 large blue cod waiting for me to bash a leg off a cray. ..

Epic afternoon , epic vis , one right out of the bag

Vc got a couple as did I

That's a big fish or a small kid

Yes, it did! 1 hour of grunting and hauling. Unlike the one I hooked earlier in the day, it didn't take much line after the initial run, just wouldn't budge. Got the line back 1 inch at a time or at least, that's what it felt like.

That's some local. Nice

Beautiful fish. Did you weigh it? Looks like it would 40kgs+?

No, not weighed. We estimated 60kg. It was 1.5 metres long. Quite a vacuum packing session last night!

That's a fantastic fish. Well done.

Took a little step today…mostly because groceries are like 30% of our budget!!
I thought today would be epic, but it wasn’t. I had a descending device ready to release all the extra large snapper that I caught, etc, etc. After 3 hours on the water there wasn’t one fish to keep or release :/
At some point I got a big old girl and whacked her, we ain’t descending nothin. Then started catching gurnards…cute little guys that I said I’d never keep again…killed the shit outta them too. Then there was a school of baby Kahawai…so a buncha 11” baby Kahawai found the cooler. We fish to eat dammit!!! That’s my story.
