Todays Report

Headed out from woodies about 6.30am .. we went for a couple of squid drifts got 8 a couple with around 30cm hoods.. then had a largish fish grab a squid jig and went for a run came to the surface away from the boat cartwheeled and spat it , something different not sure what it was. Headed out behind the islands , got a couple of kgs then had a big school of fish go under the boat ended up pulling up a rat sambo ( fish curry tomorrow night ) ... we were going to head out deeper then we started getting smashed by good size skippy so we just stayed put in 13m.. nice day out and got a feed ..

Plaa means fish, Plik means spicy or chilli.

Look like she did a good job anyway mate. Lucky bugger. Can't wait to get home from work and get out there and catch something for my missus to cook. Cheers for the report

Hi Chris

Tue, 2013-04-02 14:50

Hi Chris I noticed in your report you mentioned while squidding in the sound you hooked a large fish, I can tell you I would probably have been a Nor West Blowie. I jig for squid in the sound constantly and have hooked into a few of theose suckers. Btw nice catch and I like the recipe for your skippy.

 I'll second that Lawndered..

Wed, 2013-04-03 17:32

 I'll second that Lawndered.. The Missus caught her first squid out from Woodies on Sunday.. Thought she was onto a thumper a few minutes later. Then had a great laugh when she pulled in a NWB!

She had the las laugh when it bit the spikes clean off my favorite jig though :/

Thought that little sambo would cook up alright in the curry but got a baddy as soft as baby poop , the chooks liked it .
