Anniversary Fish

Report for 30/3/08

Yesterday was our 6yr Wedding Anniversary. So what better way to celebrate than an afternoon on the water in a new boat? I didn't necessarily want to fish, just a run to the island and dinner on the boat was all I wanted. But Tania was keen to have a bit of a fish. So we headed to our usual inshore spot. Weather was good for an afternoon. 10knots or so from the SE. We launched about 4.30pm and were fishing by 5. We quickly got into some LM Nannygai. We finished fishing for dinner just after 6. We had caught and tagged about 10 fish, and re-captured 5 or so from the day before. Interestingly, all the re-captured fish were the bigger ones, over 35cm. So they must recover quicker than the small fish.

Incidentally, the 42cm fish Tania caught last week was also a recapture. Below are the details. It shows some good growth on the fish! (click to enlarge)
