couple of tuna

Well me and a mate got out early today.headed out of hillarys with great conditions slight easterly. both of us pretty new to perth so didnt have any spots to hit up. we were chasing an elusive dhuey or two. seems everyone has been catching  them like blowies lately. after sounding around found a bit of bottom in 30m only to get a couple of wrass and an under size pinky(released). thought we'd drift it again hopeful find the older brother but no good. decided to push out a bit further, hit 35m bit of broken ground but nothing to write home about and not much brought to the surface. moved on again and as we were going spottted a few bait balls busting up the surface, out went a couple of lures and with in 5 min bang, a nice stripy.  lost site of the bait so thought we'd just keep the lures out and search for ground. didnt find much but bout half hour later off goes the rod again and after a nice little fight the second stripy was landed. kept going after that for bout 20 min with out any luck and no spots found to find our nice dhuey, made the call to head in clean the boat and watch the footy.

no dhueys but still agreat day on the water. and good to see west coast ddemolish the bullys. great day.. 

also forgot to mention, i pulled up an octopus off the broken ground, any one else caught an occy on a hook before. first for me.

 

if anyone would like to point us in the right direction of dhueys feel free.. haha i know what the reply will be... cheers anyway..
