Good day off Mandurah
Finally I got out for a fish, seems like ages since I last got out, but it was worth the wait.
Got to the ramp at 6:10 and set off for the 40's. Sea was a bit all over the place early but turned to glass on the way home. It was a bit rough as we got closer to the 40's so chucked out a skirt and trolled the last few miles. Which turned out a great idea as we found some new ground showing fish. Pulled in the lure and doubled back. First drift got a few bites but I was a little off on the drift line. Second drift was a bit closer but still not quite over where I wanted to be. Third time lucky and Doug gets a nice Baldie.
Baldie for a Baldie as he said.
Next drift it was my turn. Hooked up solid and after a good tussle up popped this fella!!
Went 10 kg's and got him on a fresh strip of Sarg. He also spewed up 3 baby cobbler type fish. I always try the Sarg strip as have heard it deadly but this is my first good one on it.
The fish shut down a little on the new spot after this so moved a mile further out and finished our bag with a 52cm Pinky to Doug and a 42cm Baldie to yours truly. Also managed a couple of good size Whispery Sharks to round off a great day, after a long time between drinks.
Cheers for reading
Chris.

That big slab of sarge did the trick, big bait = big fish.
Good stuff.

Great day out mate. Sgt
Great day out mate. Sgt Baker def has a great success rate for me too. When im fishing spots i know has sgts and they arent biting i find the dhus normally arent interested in any baits or even jigs.

Sundays job Vinnie. Getting the bleach out. Got a bloody gumtree dropping flowers and leaves in it. Going to chuck a tarp up to stop the majority. Didn't see the point of cleaning it before fishing though
