Good day out with the old man
Had a great day out on the water today with my old man, he lives over east these days so fishing trips are very few and far between, so was awesome to get him out and onto some good fish today!
Started off trolling a few skirts out to our 1st spot for the day, managed to pick up a small SBT which is destined for sashimi tomorrow night and species 1 ticked off the list for the day. Soon after that we arrived to a spot I've done well on before but Havnt fished for quite a while, and it was a good call to head there. 1st drop and the old man pulled up a solid dhuie, he was very lucky to land it on a mangled up 6/0 gama bent way out of shape! 2nd drop and he hooks up solid again but drops the fish half way up. 3rd drop and I'm on straight away with a 100g samaki choona tempting another good dhuie, good fight on the 30lb and once in the boat it coughs up the old mans squid, same fish he dropped on the last drift!
So with our limit of dhuies we moved off the spot and onto some broken ground in search of some Baldies, a couole long drifts and some by catch returned we finished the bag with a nice baldy and a sweet lip. Cruised back in at 25knots, couldn't of asked for a better day!
