Headed out with the young bloke at 0400 to get to the ramp nice and early only a couple of boats in front of us, everyone was very efficent so we were away quickly. The mozzies were that thick you couldn't open your mouth without getting a thousand in there whilst travelling. Had to clean them off the spotters and out of the teeth. Got to the mouth of Sampan for a quick troll out picking up a blue samon, before up tp Tommycut. Started trolling Tommycut with about a dozen other boats, Rusty got a nice Thready straight up then all was pretty quiet. Seen a few bazza's being caught all around the 70-80 mark. Trolled around for about another hour then finally hooked up on a nice 77cm, got him in the boat for a quick measure, photo and released to grow to a metre.
Pulled up stumps about a hour later and headed back to try Sampan. Arrived and joined in with another dozen boats trolling the western side, Rusty picked up another nice Thready to add to his count. Trolled around for a couple more hours for a big fat zero. Went across and had a look at Swim creek mainly to get into some shade for awhile. Heaps of bait around but no barra, headed back to Sampan to finish the afternoon off. Did a few more troll runs the just as we were about to head home I got smashed by a nice 88cm bazza that played up a treat. After a long fight, a measure and a couple of photo's she was released., We ended the trip on that and headed for the ramp well worn out.
..nice fish too. Did ya end up keeping the salmon to chew on?
Young bloke was in a red shirt yeah? Good to hear you found a couple in the end.
