Lancelin Report 28-05-11
As some of you may know, I am now living in Perth as I took a new job that is fifo up north, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. Bit of change of scenery but I look forward to the challenge :) Myself and Glenn decided to make our way up to Lancelin last Saturday and take advantage of the low swell. As we came over the hill into Lancelin we were stoked to see a beautiful glassed out ocean and couldn't wait to get out there. We quickly launched and made our way out to a nice lump that just lit up the sounder screen. Decided to have some fun with some Sambos and after donating a few too many jigs decided to see if we could pull anything off the bottom. Glenn was working a plastic when something grabbed it and hooked up. Didn't look like a sambo fight and I mentioned to Glenn looks like he might have a decent demersal and then a lovely 6.5kg Dhu made it's way to the surface.
Not long after boating the Dhu as we were heading back for another drift a boat came screaming right up to spot we were fishing and yelled out, "Wow this lump looks awesome on the sounder, got anything good mate?"... so we replied with "Nah mate nothing except sambos", to which he screamed off in the opposit direction... geez some people are rude.
Things went a little quiet so we went out searching for some more ground. Found some nice broken ground with some good fish showing. Wasn't long before I got a nice Baldie that made a good account of itself on PE3. Went back for another drift and came up solid again to a nice fish but pulled the hooks halfway up. Glenn managed to hook a big 3kg cuttlefish on the huge BOZO grub so decided to drop down a squid jig on a paternoster and boated another couple.
Went round for another drift and I hooked up again, this time a nice big black bum made it's way into the esky
Decided to head back to the first spot which was on the way home and landed a juvenile pinkie which was quickly released and then not long after Glenn managed another nice baldie. Decided to make our way home as it was getting late and we had our limit. Glassy seas made the trip home quick and enjoyable, all in all a great day on the water.
So if anyone wants a deckie to fish midweek, I'm usually available during my 2 week break.. split fuel costs and all the other usual stuff.
