Left the heads about 7 am in my mates 4.5m boat and headed for the FAD (about 21km away) :argh:
All the reports said the day would improve weather/swell wise, and although it was a bit lumpy and uncomfortable for a while, the conditions did improve and we had a cracking day out on the water.
The first pass of the FAD resulted in a hookup of a slightly undersized Dollie and from then on it was action stations with fish after fish caught and released until they finally slowed up as the sun got higher.
Around 14 fish were caught and we kept 2 that were above legal size for a feed later.
It was my first time catching one, and due to the conditions, I ended up catching the lot as my mate the skipper had his hands full of steering wheel layful:
What an awesome fish!!
The colours truly have to be seen to be believed and they have to be one of the tastiest fish out there :drooling:
Every muscle is sore today, but I cant wait to get out there and hook in again soon
