This morning, prior to the wind blowing its tits off from the wrong direction, there was a brief window of opportunity to duck outside the heads for a little look-see. Light northerly blowing. Glassy 1.5 metre swell. Found a pocket of goodish viz around 6 metres. Depth around 7 metres. One kilometre west of
Point Lonsdale Surf Lifesaving Club. Roughly 500 metres from shore. Shot dome Trevally and Bluethroats and used them to burley the buggery out of the joint. Was rewarded by a swarm of Snapper between 500gm and 2kgs. This was the biggest seen and the largest fish ( Snapper) I have taken in Vic in the past 20 years. 53 cm. 2020 gms. It fought well.

To top it off Brett must of put one hand over his mask to cover his eyes for the extra level of difficulty. No wonder the fish didn't take off, look at its fat gut from Bretts burleying, he gave it a cardiac arrest before shooting it.

Top effort Brett, hats off to you, should I really bother with the vic challenge now...? Anyone seen a snapper shootable that weighs at least 2021gms!

A good start to march. Shot this Snapper a little further to the west than the one I slew last week. About a metre swell. 7 metres deep. 5 metre horizontal viz. Quite cloudy. Was the only Snapper I saw. Every time I dived he would piss off, so I just let the burley out sparingly. The greedy thing swam up higher and higher in the water column until within range. I popped him from the surface, straight down through the shoulder. Good fight. This one, like the others over the last couple of weeks has been unable to resist freshly shot trevally. Weighed in at 2800gms. They are gradually getting bigger!!

dived peterborough on saturday; average vis 3m-4m, fish life seriously lacking, cray life in plague proportions, i am not exaggerating when i say i saw hundreds of crays in an area of 50 square meters. many many small ones, some average size kilo range and a couple of respectable 2.5kg jobs.

park ranger told me to get my dog off the beach after he swam out to meet me.....

stopped by the vic titles on the way back to the big smoke, i dont envy the boys getting drilled on the rocks at sugarloaf, or working that less than desirable vis and chop. well done to all who competed, especially the pikers club that formed as the day went by :D

PS the best part of the day was when the german chicks in their skimmpy bikinis turned up. all of a sudden fish were being filleted, crays offered, photos taken and joes comment killed me
"would you like to pull the spear" :shock: :D "no, no pull it hard" :P :P :oops: :oops:

okay, who has the photos???????? that should be the new photo of the month.
