Dunsborough Cape Nat, an epic 11/2/13
What a cracker of a day! I could punch in a hole heap of dribble (as usual) to describe this session but even then I am unsure we would encompass the mayhem that Cape Nat delivered!
Gentleman's hours we met at Doaky's & got sorted with some bait collection, taking our time as the easterlies ruled any opportunity of getting wide. 3 hooks meant a challenge of a triple header (landed) with the ravenous hezza's for our bait out wide & some Exmouth trip donations, with a few hookups not disappointing. Then we managed to get wide....searching..... & then Pedro hit the scoreboard nicely
The tags got some nice specimens for release & some go pro footage to boot of how quick we do this on deck with a team effort. Should be some sweet underwater footage of their descent without weight, yes I will pull my finger out & get it sorted. Dave from Outdoor Sportz then racks this baby up on jiggy jig (also on footage) 
Dhuie popped on the mat, details called & released hopefully for a data return later on
Dhuie for release by Seaquest
Freaking hooter of a blackarse caught in the 100 plus. (Will submit that one in Ron)
We had a hectic time out deep with some pinky's & a cracking pigfish that wasn't a friend of barotrauma so got a slurry sleep. However the day wasn't over as the call was made after hitting up tuna schools to hit up Dunsborough's only seasonal pelagic hotspot for some light tackle mayhem (could do with some FADS Jamie, wink wink) aaaaand.... bingo legs eleven!
Poor Dave let slip DOS had been delivered some sweet new candy for this very moment, so we raided his tackle bag. YTK everywhere... and Dolly's baby!!! 
This pup had me doing a few laps on the breamstick
Yah we know that you get them in Perth but give us our moment in the warm current sun! Kill shot from the day out, not for everyone but those that are vocal fisheries mathematicians there was four onboard
Cheers lads

I don't have much rep down your way, but maybe a local club can apply for a FADs grant from RFW.

Yep Daves on the board at
Yep Daves on the board at last, double points too for a jig capture. He's lucky I released the two I caught on a jig before him.
Got some good footage of releasing a dhuie, the method might supprise a few people and how effective it is.

Uploading a 'yew' tube vid
Uploading a 'yew' tube vid with my first crack at proper editing whilst under the guise of 'work' so the wife doesn't crack it. Has the release method & Davo working his little jigforce out on a nice dhu banger.
BJ, love to hear those yarns mate, Doaky pulled in a stripey tuna & we saw a massive flash behind it with my guess being a big espanol having a crack!
Edit of an edit: see below for update

Sorry guys disregard the above post, gone from 'yew' tube to vimeo (apparently that's were all the cool kids are at!)
Anyway enjoy Davo from Outdoor Sportz on the light stick & Seaquest doing the tagged release whilst I dick around with the go pro, as mentioned this is my first crack at video editing so be kind but I think I am going to start jumping in & getting a whole heap more footage

Cheers guys, would be great to jump in on the last 10m for its deco stop then have the other camera rolling on board for tags / measuring then film the descent without weight.
Good fun, pretty keen to get into the vid editing

well done . looks like you had a great trip out with fish being caught and released as well as the weather.
as far as dollies goes down there, it didnt surprise me at all after reading about them being taken out of Albany last summer.
