5 Fathom Mixed Bag
Submitted by devhay on Mon, 2018-01-08 12:09
Went out with a few of the boys Thursday morning for a fish off 5 Fathom, was a struggle to find any sized snapper amongst the little ones but good to see theres are some healthy sized schools out there!
We only came across one dhu just under unfortunately so he went straight back down , had a few welcome bycatches of KGs though.
Trolled our way back in to check the cray pots and found some tuna busting up..completely spooled me on my 3k reel on the first hookup, thankfully had a heavier combo rigged and ready to go straight away and landed some
All in all a decent mixed bag for the day
now to get back out and keep looking for a metro mackie!

Great mixed bag. I was also out Thursday morning and found good numbers of undersized Pinks, great news for the future.

The tuna were taking anything we trolled passed them, first two hooked up on cheap skirted lures then while we were sorting those two in the boat we trolled passed with a Halco Laser 2.5m diver and a School Bully shallow diver and had a double hook up again
