Paul D Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Fished today on AWOL with Dean, Mike and George Fox. The target was Blonde Rays so we headed out to some banks to target the rays. First 15 minutes and George is into a ray weighing in at 10lb 8oz which he is well chuffed with. Then fishingf slows but I then watch Dean and Mike both land rays and the odd Bream and Mackeral. Not a bite ! I was beginning to think that I was experiencing the same fishing as the previous day when eventually I have a bite. This fish takes from fighting and eventually a nice thick Blonde is landed - 21lb, my biggest Blonde to date ( not too hard as I have only caught the one before on Phaeton ). Then back to watching the others again when Dean decides to dop the boat back a bit to reach the bank. This seemed to work as he is into a fish almost immediately. I then hook into a fish at the same time. Took a while to convince Dean they were not the same fish but eventually both fish are onboard and photos taken. This time my fish weighed in at 19lb. Well chuffed. No more bites for me for the rest of the day. So I had two bites and two fish, but what good fish they were. Many thanks to Dean for a great day afloat.
