Bunno deep drop

 plan was to fish all night but bagged out on 2nd drop! So cooked up a feed then gutted a carton of sport and woke up at 630 am fishing the 40m line for a tuna! Didn't get any, saw a lot of baitfish on surface!

 Gotta come back and finish

Fri, 2016-02-12 19:20

 Gotta come back and finish off my islands trip! Was cut short by the fire! Maybe head up in 3 weeks or so! Yeah weather was bliss we never launched until 230pm everyone was coming home as we were heading out! Was the skippers fault as I slept in and stuffed around all morning. Wasn't showing off lol, we got there and I realised I left the cock sock  (sea anchor) in the ute. Sea anchor is the biggest hunk of junk I've ever used (have a new one getting built as we speak). Not a good start then only got 2 on first drop and I was off the school by a long way!!!!!! 2nd time was on the money though. The rest of the night was slurred words and half assed attempts to cook venison patties. However I did see some honking big squid, they followed the esca light and smashed it as it hit the surface. Don't think they were the normal varitey squid!!! 

Coral bay could get a look I next time, dad was yabbering about it this arvo as he was spraying whale oil (original stuff from Albany as his father worked at the whaling station) all over the boat trailer to stop the rust!
