Mark finally got one in the bin after a trail of rats
and sea sick reg fronts up and gets rewarded with something you dont get in sydney!
Shane finally gets one for the bin and is stoked - back to the aldies for a snorkle and play with a XOS stingray!
Russian Rob and his mobsters came for some action in not so pleasent conditions - they sucked up a cup of concrete on the way out and were soon rewarded with a string of mean fish.
Ronnie had flown from scotland for this trip and he wasnt dissapointed, the first up for him was a rat. I threw it away and tolds him that that wasnt legal - his eyes popped out of his head and muttered a few words ..'ye doont caaacth thooose at hoooome'..."wait till ya get a real one mate!
so he did...and did it well!
his mate Loyal had a blinder - first up a nice king
and Ronnie nabs another before his broken rib started playing up

after a very very long stint on the jigs Russian Rob finally admits defeat and grabs a live bait - booya! thats not to say he diddnt get hook ups - he had braid issues on his own set!

Over seas based Tim was back with some mates, last time he was over we got blown out pretty bad and ended up fishing in close at the mercs with his son Bennie and his 'little blue' rod - u might recall the very nice snapper they got.
