Another pleasant evening on the pontoon

[subtlefly]

Started at around 7 pm, by the time I caught the second one I packed up and went home:)  All done in a couple of hours.

Nice work.

Any update on the mystery fish from the other day ?

[subtlefly]

No I think I agree with you guys, probably a bull shark.  I am happy for those guys to keep on swimming.  I decided to stick to my game plan, when you are on the pontoon it is what it is.  I seem to have the grunter game down, now if only I could pick up a barra or mangrove jack, then I could attribute some skill to the fishing as well:)

Nice work, those are some big grunter!

If you can catch a few small catfish to use as bait they are absolutely irresistible to barra. 

I've caught a lot using them over the years, but you will pick up the odd shark too.

Well basically put in the whole day for this guy the next day- but I'm not complaining- what a champion fish!

[Bob9863]

He's a decent one.

Strip or live bait?

Whole squid

Must feel great being able to catch such good fish off your pontoon. How often do you fish there ?

[subtlefly]

Once or twice a month:)  It all depends how busy things are
