First clunky arrived then nick the ute was loaded now we have to all fit in there ,with lets say 2 over sized lads in a 3 seater ute and me the pretzel in the middle it was a quick detour to the bottle shop then to get to the boat at Berimah ramp.Met Macka at the ramp ,on a Billy chasing mission.
Our mission was South Gutter then head for the Pinnacles after daylight.It was a bit choppy on the way out a quick stop at a princess for a goldy or 3 then of to the South.Anchord up on our spot and no sooner hit the bottom and we were on 50cm goldy then another then another a few a bit bigger ,then some reefies then the pick lifted and we drifted to the center of the gutter.back to a spot near by and more reefies ,they bit solid for about 4 hours,and the odd goldy came on board to.
Then it was time to head to the Pinnacles for some Mack action ,Cruised over our first spot and big arches moved onto the screen .Knife jigs where dropped to be smashed immediately ,then nothing .Oh well more wire another jig ,bang Im on yells the skipper and a solid mack broke the surface.Then Bellfish got hooked up solid then got sharked after a serious fight and several big runs ping his 80lb braid was cut ,another jig gone then the funniest thing happened after about an hour or so the skipper got a nice mack pulled it in the boat it had a heap of green braid wrapped around it .Hmm Bellfish says that looks like mine,and buggggger me if after getting to the end of the braid there was his jig well ill be xxxxx so after making some adjustments to his come the xxxx here rod .He was back in action.bang another solid hit then nothing .Oh man not again ,lost another jig.after losing 10 jigs in total and been bitten off numerous times at the sinker we moved in the hope to find some more gold .After moving a few hundred meters away we found some good ground with some good shows on the bottom.then more reefies and a few more goldies to top up our bag limit.then i got hooked up to something solid hmm lemon i thought but then some real big head shakes then some solid runs i then changed my concentration to JEWY.then the line went slack nooooooooo i pulled in to find the bottom intact,and the top hook was bait less hmm must have been a jewy not hooked solid enough.Then the macks appeared again i got a nice bluebone ,went to pull it on board and there was alot of this green braid wrapped around it ,it was at this stage when Nick said your sheeting me that's my line but we were 1km away when i lost my jig again,anyway his jig was dangling on the end again unbelievable lost twice only to get it back twice .The breeze started to come up so we decided to head for home .
We had a great trip New friend ships were made ,And we have now found 2 great Deckies hat don't get seasick
forgot to take picks having to much of an awesome time.
