Blue-eye Trevalla first for Brent & a PB
We'll my new boat is finally decked out and worth the wait indeed. Chivers Marine (Bibra Lake) have fitted out an awesome boat which is a Haines Patriot 680 & the new 300 V6 Yamaha 4 stroke. I will do a proper write up on the boat later on but yesterday was time to blood the deck!
A very late launch and a arvo sesh in the deepwater was the go. A mate Brent came out for the run and despite having caught deepwater fish with me before he hasnt got the Blue-eye Trevalla!
After locating a school of Trevalla on the Furuno I said to Brent drop your baits. First drop and he was on, he caught his first Blue-eye Trevalla and was stoked!
Photo missing!!
I had a quick drop on the jig after he landed his fish but the current wasnt making that very do-able. I spent time adjusting my sounder settings whilst Brent recovered from the last fish. After a bite to eat I located fish again and said to Brent send one hook down on the rig as if he gets a fish thats his legal 2 fish. I bulked up his circle hook with big slimy mackerel baits and down it went!
After hitting the bottom it didnt take Brent long to hook something twice the size. I was thinking a descent Bass or maybe a huge Trevalla as this was pulling the Whiplash 65lb off his spool. After a long fight (manual windup on his Tyrnos) his second Trevalla and a PB at 28kg (weighed)!

I was happy just being out on my new boat let alone seeing Brent land two quality fish in two drifts. I had a quick drop and got a descent Hapuku on bait and that was more than enough so we headed in!

Well done putting your mate onto some fish, and your new ride sounds pretty sweet too! Running the new light weight yammy 300? I'd be interested to see how your new boat performs.

Nice trevalla, what reel are you using for jigging that deep, or are you using the jig function on the megatwin?

That thing is a beast - great
That thing is a beast - great catch!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

deepwater!
Bodie, yeh running the new L/weight V6 300 Yammy. Its got plenty of grunt and the boat handles the offshore conditions really well........very impressed indeed!
Jamie, I dont use the jigging funtion on my Daiwa electric reel. I use the rod to work the jig (using the new Jigging Master Evolution Titanium 400) and use the reels jig/pickup button or line retrieve lever when jigging.........once the fish is hooked then fight manually!
Tim, I sold my original Furuno FCV1100 and tranys to a FW member, my new boat is running a new FCV1150 and 3kw 28khz & 2kw 200khz tranny/wetbox setup!
Thanks fella's for all the comments on the boat & fish =)

Great effort Ryan
thanks for the report and pics - would be great to see some pics of your new tub & motor and hear a bit about them. Give the dreamers (Me) - something to ponder.

Nice
You've got the deepwater fish sorted. No need to say any more.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
