fads easter sunday
headed out to the fads on easter sunday with andyh and mela_7
left hillarys at 6:00am and got to the furuno fad around 7:15, the weather wasnt as good as seabreeze had forcasted but didnt bother us as it was time to get fishing.
first drift andy landed this nice dollie and biggest of the day on his samurai rod and 20lb line we were all stoked to say the least when it came boatside and we saw how big it was.
next to hook up was hesh
then my turn to hook up and seal a 3 fish from four drifts streak, this is also my first dollie i have caught which i am wrapped about
we then moved on to another fad where andy picked up another dollie.
and on the next drift we had a double hook up me and hesh were both on and after hesh losing his dollie at the side of the boat and spotting a decent tiger i thought i got sharked agter the reel started screaming, andy followed the fish with the boat as i was using his combo with 20lb line i couldnt give it to much hurt after about a 10 min fight i saw a very decent tuna appear down the water column when it surfaced i was stoked being my first striped tuna and what a specimen to start on
after this we decided to head in at a lazy 30knots had an awesome day thanks andy and hesh.
thanks for reading.sammy
