Coral Bay - Part 2
continued...
Nice Cobia on the FW rod and Avet combo.
whales off the bow.
End of day 2 whale show.
End of day two so back to fillet, shower, pub, dinner, bed.
Day three was obviously our last day on the charter so we were keen to finish on a good note. We finished on a frkkn great note! Glassy conditions on the drive out and the plan was to fish some different grounds a little deeper. We had an hour later start due to the low tides and putted out through the north passage. Around two hours after leaving the boat ramp, we were dropping anchor and baiting up.
What happened for the next hour or so was just chaotic! We had a relatively small crew of 8 fishers and lucky, because for a time, we couldn't keep up with the amount of fish coming on board! We had big Goldbands, Rosies, Tang Snappers, Robbo's, Ruby snapper and sharks coming up in single and double headers, line tangles etc. to top it off, my mates leader broke at the surface with a double header of thumper rosies still attached and floating away from the boat. Gaff can't reach them so deckie Wade jumps over the side and swims back to the boat with two flapping fish still attached- it was crazy. 
After an hour we hooked a few bigger sharks so decided to have a look around for some new ground and landed on another nice little flare up on the sounder. A few more drops and we had nailed the boats limit so time to steam home after a successful day.
So the best day was saved until last and it topped off a perfect trip. The charter was awesome and we couldn't have asked for anything more on the Mahi Mahi with Bernie proving his reputation on finding quality fish (and lots of them). They make every effort to get everyone fish and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone.
Now the hard part is waiting for the next planned trip in June ’14 but the freezer full of fresh fillets should hep me through it!
41 weeks and counting!
cheers

Thought I would have least
Thought I would have least got a mention of some great company up there but guess not?! That said we did meet some awesome people from all over. Couldn't agree more with the summary other than that though!
Again Bernie and Wade were superb so a big thanks! Mahi Mahi 3 is my next dream boat- maybe when their done with it?!

Wow, that is amazing, but doesn't surprise me what can be done these days, thanks for removing, maybe we had better be careful what we post on our Facebook page and on this site in future?

if the gps is turned on in
if the gps is turned on in your smart phone and then take pics, it will leave a finger print of the co-ordinates. if u turn the gps off its fine.
causd a stir in the media with parents not realizing they were revealing information like that on internet social media about their kids ie part of the house they sleep, which school, fave playground etc etc
