We were planning on staying 2 nights, Friday and Saturday but ended up coming home early on Sat as we had enough fish and had already had a ball catching them, had a bit of a hassle getting the boat out when the winch strap broke, and unbeknown to me the decky didnt put the shackle on as someone had pinched it off the trailer
, luckily it happened right at the waters edge and the boat fell off the trailer back in the water before we were on the dry land, just as a big wave came in which helped and we were able to do a quick repair, find a shackle and get her back on the trailer. A bit of entertainment for the onlookers, 
hopefully wont be as much hassle when the new ramp is operating. Bent the transducer and that was the only damage luckily. Just an annoying swell with the wind blowing straight in.there were a few boats waiting to get pulled out, but obviously no one was phoning in or radioing to get their trailers as ours was brought down before some of the others waiting, I told a couple of boats to call in, it is written on the trailer number cards, they don't seem to take any notice of you holding up the numbers now!
The young feller Alex came along and although it was a bit rough and he felt unwell a bit and had plenty of rest up the front, he still showed us how to do it catching plenty and the two biggest fish of the trip, a Goldspot cod 83cm and over 10 kg and a 126cm Spaniard around 20kg, it was a stonker of a fish and Alex upgraded his PB's easily, i had hooked something on one of the skirts trolling, a trevally and it peeled some line, i asked Alex to wind in the big minnow in the prop wash, 2 cranks of the handle and the big mack hit it and screemed off, taking about 100 metres of line with its first run, with a little help pumping the rod Alex wound all the line back in and we got the big girl in the boat.
He was pretty chuffed with his efforts, even though he was screaming at one stage "i cant hold it dad" lol, with a grimace on his face, you have to I said, I've got one too.
I think we were a little lucky that the big Mack didn't get sharked, as I have lost a lot in that area before, they must have known Alex had it and to leave it alone for him to catch! 
We did a bit of trolling round hoping to raise a billfish, had a Cobia up behind the lures at one stage and managed to raise a small Sailfish out near Sail City as well, unfortunately i wasnt quick enough to pitch a bait to it and it disappeared, there was heaps of bait around and schools of tuna busting up everywhere. I reckon I saw a small Marlin earlier around the bait schools as well.
attached a few of pics of the nice fish we caught, Jason got his first Coral Trout and had a ball with his little jig rod, got busted off a couple of times by unstoppables
The ramp at Dundee is looking good, shouldn't be too long
Heading across to Melville/Bathurst in a couple of weeks and hope to get amongst a few fish over there
