Fishing trip 9 Sept 07 (lots of pics)
Submitted by Dean on Sun, 2007-09-09 20:03
steve lifted the bar and caught this nice dhuie
Another drift resulted in a blackbum for me, and steve had a 90cm flathead boatside but lost it!
After another drift I manage a small dhuie (But Size), sorry no pic.
Last drift was called and steve again hooked upto a decent fish this time. Resulting in this 8.5kg Dhuie which was folled up by a ray about 1.5meter wide.
So we had our baglimit of 2 dhuies each and it was 4.20 so we headed back in.
The Catch
Cheers

Went out today and got in the water at 9.45am, my little brother came out but didn't want to go out to far so we fished inside 3 mile for 2 hours, then dropped him back off at oceanreef ramp and headed out to the 40m mark.
got out there about 12.30pm ish, went to first coral patch fished it for a while and not much happening caught a decent blackbum and 2 undersize dhuies.
Moved over about 800m to broken ground coral/reef and the sounder was full of fish.
First fish was a tiny dhuie

The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Thats good to see mate! They
Thats good to see mate! They are such a pretty fish at that size and when ive caught them they tend to take off straight away when put back! But ive only ever caught the smaller ones in shallow water so its good to see they still go back at the 40m mark ok if treated welkl on the way up. Well done mate.
Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!

yeah andy we generally fish
Strange though, because yesterday there were 20 or so fish over this area about 150m x 150m and most of the ground is flat with a few flares but only very small patches. Normally there isn't that many and there was lots of undersize ones around aswell.
Spess I was actually amazed at how fast the fish shot off, as soon as he was put in the water he was off, also noticed blood on my thumb and just to let people know that was from the previous blackbum which spiked me.
We forgot the gaff so all fish were lifted over by hand
