Fished Cole from about 6:45 to 11. Two over 80cm and a couple more pin poppers that didn't stick. So much bait. The seal were thick but didn't take a run at our springs? I insisted we horse them to the boat but maybe we could have played them with a little finess? Cop car skinnyg for the win. 1 dungee per trap. Had 5 minutes of my daughter in my arms on Sidney spit. Wish we didn't come home. Nice to be back on the water.

Fished Hamley as well Friday morning from about 7-11. Not a lot of action but manged a 70cm spring to keep. Lost another good one that bit through my 30lb leader and took my favourite white hootchie! Also hooked something mid water with my downrigger ball and lost my gear. I was down about 60’ in 120’ of water near Wymond pt. Whatever it was I was able to slowly drag it around but couldn’t bring up my cannonball as it was way too heavy. Wrapped the dr line around my cleat and it eventually snapped off losing about 30' of line. The pic below is where we hooked whatever it was.

Still lots of quality fish around, was pretty consistent again today, about 1 fish every half hour, and then at the turn mid afternoon it was hard to keep both lines down and had a couple double headers. Relaesed some overs and unders and we each kept one beauty between 70-80cms. I was marking lots of fish shallow and dropped the 3rd rigger to 27’ and had an epic battle with a nice wild coho. Gold was key again today.

Fished Moresby today solo from 8~10:30. Had a heavy hit at 9:30,couple good runs,slowly worked it to the surface and then got the dreaded surface head shaking and gone,luckily got a second hit at 10:30 and after a very careful tap dance routine,and interesting solo netting, managed to land a 79 cm red just a hair under 16 lbs. just as the fog rolled in. Next stop is next weekend at Sandheads, to join the gong show.
Went out yesterday afternoon around Moresby. Literally had lines in for 5 minutes and must have dropped the lures on them. Had the kids nail two just under 80 a couple days before was much slower in the morning and only hooked a massive coho right off the bottom in 120ft.
