In search for the Holy Grail by kayak
Mal ,Leejo and Myself had a late night on Westernport searching for the Holy Grail - the trip started at Reef Island for a squid hunt ( not as easy as it sounded ) at 3 pm there was a 15 or so SW wind making the drift fairly quick and I forgot to take a drift chute
anyway I picked up 1 and leejo 2 by about 6.30 and it was time to relocate to Corinella the few squid and some market bought Mullet was going to have to do
Corinella across to our marks only 3.5 - 4 km away was a bit of a slog into quite a quick run out tide but we were on our marks before the low . Low was around 9.30
bait soaking and quite a few sharp bites that seamed like pinkies they must have been small - none caught or hooked up and through the night there were quite a few gummies and one schooly taking my baits --- and of cause a Banjo shark
as for the Mulloway there are still just as many there as we didn't hook any of these silver unicorns --- the by catch was Ok with my 2 keeper Gummies @ 90 and 108 cm over all length
We packed up around 12.30 the tide flow was zipping along by then and the weed was becoming a real pain - it was a fairly slow trip back against the tide flow Leejo had rudder troubles that made his progress slower than normal
got to use the new Corinella cleaning tables around 2 am - had them all to myself at that time in the morning - this Mulloway caper makes for a long day
Must say it was a lovely night on the water the wind dropped right out - so that was our hunt for the Holy Grail till next time and there will be a next time

Keep trying it will eventually happen... they don't call it the unicorn fish for no reason.
If you do hook a westernport monster it will def be very interesting landing it on a yak.

Won’t be any harder than pulling in an eagle ray purp.
But it will be bloody awesome. Good luck mate

When you're done with the trailer, I'll come visit with my yak and we should fish reef island or Coronet bay! Seeking your guidance o' Cheaterparts master of western port.
