Surprise Gold..!
Took the father inlaw for a fish this morning.
Was heading to our spot in the harbour when I noticed a lump on the sounder....
Usually when that happens i think mmmmmm? "Should check that out one day"
So... I thought bugger it.. I turned around, found it again, hit the anchor lock on the MK..
And gave it a try....
Just a lump in the middle of the harbour , not on any chart....
Nice surprise to see it was covered in goldies, all wieghed in around 5kg...Bonus!
Saved that spot..!!!!!
Got some nice big buck muddies too.
Good way to kick off the week..

Nice fish. I ran over a lump on the way into woods inlet last friday, I should have punched that one in but was probably going too fast......

Good work mate, nice harbour goldies... 5kg might be a bit generous though or what?

Thats what the scales said? Probably not 100% accurate but close enough.
They are 60cm fishes, good chubby bellies on em...
Ill enjoy every kilo too..on the bbq tonight..!

Yep, perfect eating size. Enjoy!
Just that compared to the boga's they don't look that big. Gotta be happy with goldies like that in the harbour... Muddies for entrée too, happy days

You just reminded me, I scored a couple on Mauna Loa a fortnight back that I never posted about either.... Good to see nice harbour goldies coming over the side.

Nice mate. Great way to spend a Monday. Certainly better than where I was, although I probably could have seen you if I looked North.
