Sunday Rottnest

Woke up at 6 on sunday morning after getting to bed at 2 which wasnt to fun but knowing we would be at rotto soon enough got me out of bed. Met up with a mate from work at point peron boat ramp and headed out to the back of the 5's to see if we could burley some pinks considering it was still pretty early. Half an hour of burley and nothing so headed to rotto. Found some nice ground in the 40's on the way but nothing biting so continued to rotto. Got to west end around 8 and decided to burley for some kingys again no action so went for a bottom bash picked up 3 nice blackass one over a kilo and 2 undersize dhuies both on the bream gear and one on a 5in gulp jerk shad which is a first. Started heading back at about 1ish but some nice ground and plenty of whales had us hanging around till about 3. It had been a long day so started to head in again after about 5 mins cruising back seen heaps of birds diving so went over and checked it out we could see heaps of fish swimming along the surface with the top of their backs out of the water but couldnt get close enough to see what they were. We trolled around them for about 20 mins and threw baits at them but they just wernt interested my guess is they were tuna but you would think they would hit a bait if they were on the surface but ah well turned out a nice day and picked up around 15 squid in 20mins back in cockburn sound so no complaints :D
