After one postponement we finally got underway, this year Trish wasn't able to fish so it was just Deb and Lianne who crewed for me. The weather conditions were very good with little wind and little swell, we headed out to my spot at Arial reef where we had the berlie in and the stray lines out in no time. Our first fish in was a shark not a good sign but it turned out to be our only one, we soon had a snapper on board followed by another and another in fact we were catching and releasing a steady stream of pan sized (legal) snapper we kept a dozen 2 to 3 kg snapper and a 3.72kg which earned Deb 4th place and a prize. Lianne hooked a good sized Kingfish that won the fight and busted off when it dived to the bottom. The day turned out to be very good with both girls catching heaps with about 20 fish released and sore muscles the next morning.
