Anchored up near the eastern-most kelong and started fishing. Very quiet morning, only a few nibbles here and there. Moved a few times until the last spot. Decided that that was going to be the last spot of the day. As I was getting my stuff ready to head back to shore, I placed my rod under my lap. Then I felt a slight movement. Looked up to see the rod tip going 'tap, tap, tap'. I quickly grabbed my rod in anticipation of the next tap. Instead of a tap, the rod tip bent straight down and I quickly strike the rod. Fish ON! The fish made a few short runs then I managed to reel it up. Up comes a Brown-Marbled Grouper. This fella was under a kg so after a few shots, it was released.
With that last minute action, I was left a happy kayak fisho!
