Deep Stuff

started off leaving woodman point aroun 5.45am heading to the FAD's.

cruised out at about 25knots and therein 1 hour. Tried PGFC FAD first, but it was dead not a fish in sight. 2 other boats arrived a few minutes later and didnt see them have any luck.

Quickly bolted off the freo FAD and another boat beat us there just and on his first pass hooked up a big dollie, but a jump or 2 later it was off.
We went through for a couple passes and got a couple hits and jumps on the christmas trees but no hookups.

another 2 boats were drfting through with live herring and they got 3 or 4 between them, but we had not live herring.

Also tried Hilarys and Furuno FAD's but same again nothing would touch the christmas trees, soft plastics, small bibs, frozen herring but couldnt get a touch.

After about 5-6 hours of trying we went deeper out to 200-280 metre marks.

My sounder starts to play games at about 260ish metres as only got 600w transduver. Hooked 2 big fish in 270m but got done by sharks on the way up.
Plenty of green eyed monster out there most seemed to be about 70-80cm in length.

Headed back in to back of rotto and tried a few lumps we picked up ont he way out. Lots of fish on the sounder and got 2 good queenies, 1 horse probably 5-6kgs in size.

But besides that what a crap day!!! and was hard work.

100 mile travelled in 1 day!!!!!

Will post pics tomorrow of the queenies.
