Here’s my entry for the month, a hard earned 98cm from Sampan. Cracked rod tip guide, lost an anchor and got left high & dry, but had a great time. Thank god for the crabbers who pulled me out of the mud at Tommycut, but not before a flotilla of boats came out of nowhere and took plenty of photos. I could hear the raucous laughter of the guides over their 200 hp yammies and got plenty of helpful advice like “shouldn’t drink rum on the boat” and “it works better in the water” and “what till the tinny boys hear this”, thankfully the crabbers pulled us out before breakfast and we were back out amongst it. We got 4 up to 98, my deckie’s PB.

Nice fish and good on the crabbers for helping you out. I've always found them friendly

Nailed a healthy 85cm barra on the cast with a suspending lure, down the South and out and about
cheers
