I had watched the weather for a week after we downloaded it at Strahan.There would never be a better day to go out on my fishing spot.
Drifted around and had a light breakfast,got underway soon after,the target area was about 10 miles from the East Pyramid.Heard a few of the early leavers on the radio,they were making good time in perfect conditions unless you wanted to sail.
Does not get any better than this,waiting for the light sea breeze.
About 40 minutes after leaving we arrived and decided to put the pots in,a different ball game in 90 meters of water on the top of the rise.I had two 50 meter lines so that took care of one,for the other one we joined all our lines together even the mooring lines to reach the bottom.
Steamed around to find bottom,even put some baited hooks on for extra measure.
Had a few downers but no luck,got a few gurnards so we're close .
I consulted my fishing log and found the correct spot on the GPS.Stopped over it exactly and down went the sinkers,in two minutes Ron had a trophy fish on the deck,great excitement,we were in business.Fished for a couple of hours and all crew caught one some two.Total for the day six.
Ron's trophy fish 8.88 kg on the digital scales.
Drifted around and had a crayfish lunch with white wine.Total happiness all round.
Pulled the pots,thirteen in the first pot,the second one a blank.
After measuring we kept five.
Returned to Clayton's and gave a couple of crays away and a stripie to the Vic's tied up at the pier.
Motored over to Eds Cove for the night after another perfect day.
