Deep Drop
Submitted by Banka on Mon, 2016-01-04 11:56
We took advantage of some good weather over the christmas period and decided to head out deep to target a couple of the species that have managed to elude us so far. We worked the 300m - 400m line for a couple of hours and found a ledge with some soundings that looked promising. The spot produced both Trevalla and Bass neither of which we had caught before. We then stopped on our Grey band spot on the way in and pulled a couple of Grey Band off it. So it turned out to be a productive day with a couple of firsts.
