Hi crew, After watching all the weather sites Thursday night I was unsure as to what conditions would be like.
All the sites had different wind directions, swell and weather predicted. But I made the call to give it a go and just fish without a plan deciding what to do when we hit the water.
It was a bit messy in the morning but the wind was very light so out to the 30s was the call. Taking our time in the small boat to stay dry, we headed out slowly and not long after crossing the 3 mile line my deckie spotted a small tuna jump out to the side of us. In with a lure as quick as possible and barely 50m later I hooked onto a small SBT .
Trolling out to our spot I picked up another slightly bigger, then we set up for a bit of bottom bouncing.
First to hit the deck was a nice KG , followed by a few undersize Dhu fish. We were getting messed around by cuttlefish a lot but unable to hook them. But did have a large squid follow a bait up, always having a jig ready on a handline saw it in the boat quick smart.
Catching the usual wrasse, one was cut up and sent down hooking the only sized Dhu for the trip.
Few more hook ups and lost fish we were getting ready to head in and my mate hooked a nice bronzie, don't always keep them but this one drew the short straw and I processed it ready for the esky.
Over all wasn't a lot of action but I have had plenty of days worse and was better than being at work.
One thing we did see further out, was a huge school of tuna smashing bait, they were huge ( nothing like the SBT's I caught ) By the time we got over to them they had gone. I don't know what type of tuna they were but at a guess they were larger than 10kg, with some maybe 3 times that.
Sorry about the picture, but I didn't get a chance to get any fresh shots . Cheers Grant
