Hey team

Head out at around 7am from hillaries in search of some good ground......within 2 hours we had some, quite choppy conditions. The morning sesh we had resulted in 4 boldies (one lost at the boat, biggest 520mm), 3 undersuze pinkies, 2 black ass (one returned), various reef stuff, a trolled up stripe tuna, and the wierdest capture today was a monster cuttle fish on a patenoster rig! Obviously we kept to our boat limit of fish as well

We lost two real decent fish, didnt get a look. First we had a not pull , second was a hook was straightened.(the hook straigtening fish, didnt hit like a sambo, in fact i barely felt the bite, till i decided to put the real in free spool, and when i putt drag back on boy did it buckle over.  No snapper head shakes, didnt fell like a sambo full stop, real small runs with not a wholo lot of power. struggled getting it off the bottom, then tighteneded the dragg and the hooks straightened! Devoe!!!!!

After lunchtime when it glassed off, the bite really slowed down. So much for these northly winds i was worried about!

Interesting pointer was in the morning we were fishing with freshly caught squid, in the arvo tackle shop frozen squid, and boy did we notice a difference in action, even in the morning i was experimenting with one piece of shop squid with a piece of fresh squid, and the results speek for themselves.
