Dampier Wahoo and Sails
Submitted by Faulksy on Tue, 2010-09-28 16:25
I was lucky enough to have some mates over this week and it coincided with some awesome weather, we made the most of it by heading out wide and were rewarded with some sails and a couple of Wahoo. The Wahoo were firsts for both my self and Paul and we were not dissapointed with their fighting abilities.
One of the sails that we caught had a tag in it and I was a bit surprised to see the wound that had developed around the tag. I called the NSW DPI to report the capture and was advised that the fish had been originally tagged i the same area 2 months ago.
Great weather and good company the fish were just a bonus.

Awesome work guys, very jealous!! That 4th pic with the sail is a beauty with the blue bars all it up. Spewing I am unable to take advantage of the weather due to no boat (on hols too) but won't be much longer and new boat will be here. Giddy up.

Good to catch up for a fish Faulksy. Good to put the big fella onto a fish. Now just got to scale the 50lb braid a bit and he will see how they really perform.
That Wahoo was a cracker. And tasted pretty good on the BBQ as well.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
