hooked our first tuna off perth! stoked...

today we headed out for a demersal bash and headed over towards rotto incase the wind played up. we dropped a few crazy deep lures in 30m off the sw end of rotto and within 5 mins, 1 of the rods went nuts peeling alot of braid but after a short struggle the line was shredded on a marker chain or cray rope.

 

we were so pumped but with the weather lookn good we upped lines and shot out to the 60m line hoping to snavel a dhuie or pinky. A few short drifts later on jigs and placs with no results, we saw some birds workn a bit north and decided to throw some small skirts out the back.a few mins later 1 of the rods hooked up and a nice tuna was unfortunitely dropped along side the boat.

undeterred, we set up 4 skirts and pushed on. 15 mins went by so we turned south to cover a bit deeper on way back.

to all of our amazement, every rod went off at the same time and 2 of the 4 tuna were landed. whilst trolling a marked some good lookn ground so we dropped back down and my friend instanly hooked a nice pinky on an octo jig. the school became hard to chase with the wind picking up so we trolled back to rotto with no luck.

all in all a great day and caught some good fish.

Info or bragging there Brad.

You know you should leave your 7" Jerk Shad alone, it causes you to go blind ( Lol ).

Is that a Pink Puppy Snapper by the Paw Print it Left?????.

Nice day fishing, bring on tomorrow

You have it all wrong, you

Mon, 2011-12-19 15:49

You have it all wrong, you need to befriend the chick otherwise known as the gatekeeper no point staring at the hot ones. Kind of like walking into a luxury car dealership & drooling over all the cars instead you make friends with the dealer who let's you test drive them!
