Blessed with great weather myself and my fishing partner took off from townsville for a short trip to the wrecks to do some jigging, lucky i packed my popper rod as we didnt have much luck jigging. we headed out to a well known reef drop, when we got there i saw bait as far as the eye could see. i knew we were in for a gt or two, 3rd cast i hooked up to my first fish, roughly 25kg going by previous catches as i didnt have scales. not bad to start the day, casts later i had a good follow and he struck the popper with no hook up. after about 15min later i found myself getting pulled against the sides of the boat again, this one wasnt as big as the first one, around the 20kg mark. As i blew a hole in my gloves on the casting finger and the avro winds were starting to come in we took off home.
