Headed out this morning in perfect conditions with a light ESE breeze, left Woodies just before dawn and stopped in 15 metres of water the other side of GI seeking some small western King wrasse for dhuie bait but could get past heaps of good skippy and sand whiting.  Giving up we headed for the mid 40's around 12 NM further west, first drop resulted in a good dhuie, undersized snapper and more under sized dhuies then everything switched off.  Around 11 the few mutton birds hanging around the boat got the shock of their lives when several shark mackerel decided to try and bite their feet, pandemonium of boiling water and screaming birds with at least one seemingly loosing a bit of its foot.  Then the rods went off all together, I called mine for a good dhuie until it suddenly stopped boring for the bottom and shot up the water column to the surface, mack???, no a superb salmon just a little short of 5kg.  Other rod the same, a little smaller but still a brilliantly conditioned salmon......but on western King wrasse fillets being bottom bounced ......they must have been hungry !
