With the weather looking great and the ban coming up we headed out on Omega with a full boat (4). Launched from Two Rocks just before 5am with 4 other boats already preparing to launch in the carpark. No where near as bad as the last Monday launch (public holiday) but surprised me so many people there when it was still full dark. 

Headed out to test some new ground that was spotted the last time we went out in the 40's. First drop, and a messed up drift away from where we wanted, and the first Dhuie came onboard. Only 55cm so much discussion later it was bleed and put in the esky. Set the second drift, correctly, and i hooked my first cuttle fish on SP. Fresh bait mmm. Not another bite for the blokes with stink baits so off we headed to 55-65m.

I had decided that i was going to fish SP all day and not give in to changing over to bait, as i usually do, when everybody else is catching and i'm not. Well my total for the day was 1 large cuttlefish, 1 sargent baker and 1 baldie.

The others however managed to bag out with Baldies and blackass with my son managing to get his first Dhuie and therefor PB at 58cm just under 4kg.

Beautiful weather and some nice fillets to add to the freezer before the ban starts.

A shout out and thank you to a kind fishwrecked member who stopped by on their way back in to say hello and ended up passing us a surplus beer. Much appreciated.

Got back to the ramp and fisheries were there doing their job. Was a bit surprised to be boarded by a guy who was not surly. Had a good chat and cleared up the new cray pot rules with him and suggested they get a bit more vigilant about unauthorized pot pulling off Mindarie. He actually took it pretty well considering i was suggesting he wasent doing his job properly..Lol
