The second session of the season today, this time out on Westernport. Hit the water at about 5.15 and headed over to a reef in about 11m of water near snapper rock (Sounded promising!). First run at 6am. By 7am, I had 4 reds, 38cm, 42cm, 44cm and 55cm (About 2kg - See pic) so the first official snapper for the season! It all went a bit quiet after that so we moved the other side of the rock, but nothing for 45 minutes. Headed into Mosquito Channel where the tide was heading out pretty strongly, so we upsized our lead and waited. After a few tentative bites, Dad hooked up solidly to what was a good red - Would Parksy finally land a snapper????? 
This questions was answered quite quickly when it went for a head shaking run and snapped his line, just as I was getting the video camera to film it for historical purposes.. Might be time to change the mono after numerous years of wear and tear! Not much after that except 3 15kg Port Jackson Sharks (See pic) and about midday Dad landed a solid 3 foot gummy shark. Rumour has it Glen and Dad launched a couple of hours ago (Keen to get back out there) and have already hooked into some nice pinkies.
Hopefully it will be third time lucky!
