couple of nice rubies
i guess i am lucky working on a ship for a living and get to go fishing reasonably regularyly, but its not everyday you get to have a go at these guys. the guys at work didnt really believe me that you ould get a line to the bottom and fish 300m. but when we saw a pro boat stop on a lump and fish all night i thought we beter have a go of it to. we gathered together 4 handlines that were on the boat and joined them alltogether had some barracuda for bait that we caught earlier on and down it went with a 50mm peice of steel pipe as a sinker got 2 fish in 2 drops and that was enough work for me. one just under 6kg and one just over 6kg shame we didnt get a real big one though. tasted prety good with a bit of flour and some lemon squeezed on top. dan

yeah good chance of it they really do school up and swim alongside the boat chasing the bait in the lights biggest ive got out here is 48kg yft not quite the size of a 44 gallon drum that would be a monster, im sure theyre out here though
it is a bit of an art catching them on a handline though.
