Went off the beach today for a bluewater fishing charter. I was hoping to go barra but couldn’t get onboard anywhere, it appears most people book them as part of a group, not individually.

The day was pretty good, I would have caught 20 keepers, most of which were sweetlip (tricky snapper).

My best fish was an 80cm queenie. Great fun to land. But a much smaller trevelly was nearly as good.

The highlight of the story was one of the blokes pulling up an albino shark. Or perhaps the antics of the young fella on board who absolutely wrote himself off – kept us laughing anyway.
