With good weather on our side we decided to do a little trawling for some fresh fish as the fridge was running low. Dave had his Dad Graeme over from Oz and Ben was yet to catch a decent fish since arriving some twelve months ago. So out we headed and did an entire lap of the Northern reef system. Dave did most of the driving while Lyndon did the deck work and clean up.
First big hit and Graeme was up but after about 10-15min his arms were dead and this one was going deep. Eventually we lost it to the reef.
Like every good farmer he was back into it a few minutes later.
After an upgrade to Lyndon's Black Magic gimble including back brace, there was no stopping him.
Eventually Ben was also all smiles as he landed his first decent Doggy on board.
After landing 6 of our 7 fish the real monsters turned up.
They even put on a show that Graeme will never forget.
No trip to the outer reef is complete without a return drive by of our beloved Malinoa.
Once home it was time to divide up the bounty.
