Day out in the Prowler
Well we've clocked 10 hours since we've had the boat. Most of that time has been in search for some new ground. Luckily, today we stumbled across a nice patch whilst trolling for SBT's.
There was a reasonable show of fish, however, they weren't responding to soft plastics nor jigs. The bakers however, wanted anything.
So I decided to down size the gear & float some mulies on the drift whilst continuing to jig & flick plastics.
The light gear paid off. Sam scored her PB snapper taken on a floating mulie on 10lb, whereas, I was rewarded with a Dhu whilst also floating a mulie on 6lb squidding gear.
The Dhu had been tagged so we recorded the number & we'll call it in tomorrow. Unfortunately, we weren't carrying an esky as we didn't plan on taking any fish... more of another exploratory day on the water.
Daz.

The SBT's are like flies out
The SBT's are like flies out there Scheckter. Doesn't take long to find them. Double hookups all the time. If we had a spread of 4, it would be interesting fun.

Just one of those days. Hard not to drift a bait out when the missus is carving it up.

The ice is the key. Leave it
The ice is the key. Leave it at home and you'll find something tasty, especially tuna :p (seeing how much they need ice).
How far out were you getting the tuna Daz?

Tuna are everywhere. Got
Tuna are everywhere.
Got some in 20m, 25m, 30m, 35m, 40m etc.
Not hard to find a school. Strange they are still hanging around.
You should easily be able to get into them in your tinnie Matt. Rig a skirt without a hook & tease them to the back of the boat... then have fun with them.

Tagged Dhuie
Well done, would be interesting to see how deep and any more details on the dhuie recapture such as how far it travelled if at all from first capture and what relase method was initially used.
That is a top Pinkie too. Well done Sam.
Cheers
