rotto today

Headed out to rotto today for our first time and it was a great day couldn't ask for better weather. Headed straight out to the 100mt mark and chased some bait schools around with no success so headed in a little shallower got a monster sambo on bait along with a coral trout a.pink snapper and a dhu fish along with another 7undersize dhuys a dozen black arse few sgt bakers and couple scorpion fish. This was all in the one spot we then tried a few more spots with nothing serious showing up so called it a day. 

 

Gotta say the coral trout made my day as it was my first and I also didn't realise they came down this far.

 

 

Cheers
