got the blues
sundays weather was still all over the shop on Saturday, with all weather prediction sites all saying different wind speeds and directions. I took a stab at the one I liked the most, and hooked up the dinghy sunday morning, with a mission to chase Bluefin with a mate.
headed out past GI with a moderate easterly at our backs, over the 5 fathom, and out into the blue water. we were going to troll lures until we found birds, but the birds where right there anyway, so out came the twisties, and first cast we were on! awesome little fighters, regardless of how light or heavy your gear is. I ended up switching to my 1.5kg squid outfit for shits n giggles, and boated the last of our bag.
it was all over red rover, when an orange boat (who was catching SFA) decided he'd had enough of watching us catch fish, and trolled straight through the middle of the school, which resulted in the whole school sounding to the depths, never to be seen again. all good though, we had our fun, and our bag was good, so we cruised back in at a leisurely 20 knots, getting back to woodies at a gentlemanly 9am. home, boat washed, and quality sashimi filleted by 10am, keeps the missus happy.

Awesome
great catch
do you just sashimi them or do you cook them up in different ways as well?

I love the sashimi
I reckon sashimi with soy and wasabi can’t be beaten, but I gave most of the tuna to some of the in-laws, who cooked it on the barbie, and said it was unbelievably awesome.

dogfish?
And even the hound gets a little taste!
A early back in fish always feels good , We can leave home at pre dawn , hit our favorite harvey inlet sandbank for a quick scoop, and be back in Perth , crabs cooked
and cleaned by 9.

Beautiful Scotto, they are so awesome raw.

Just gotta get out and picki some up but work will get in the way again!
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Pretty sure that recipe
Pretty sure that recipe (coated in sesame seeds and black pepper) was suggested when I caught my blues with the old man a while back. I gave it a crack and it was amazing and the Mrs even ate it fairly rare after I seared hers for a bit longer.

found the school on tuesday, relentness casting of twisties at them from 30-40 grams and not one hook up - so frustrating! tried for 2 hours.
