Latest Dongara Plastic Mission..
Hey fellas, well time to post my adventure from yesterday 27/2/2011..
This time I decided to head out to the 40 - 50m banks and look for any lumps or coral that show up on the HDS..
5am start saw a pretty confused sea with a 15 - 20 knot sw/se wind makin for a choppy ride out in the Quinny, but the forecast was for the wind to drop to 6 - 10 knots and the ocean to flatten out and by 9am it was starting look a lot better..
The weapons of choice for the day... STELLA TIME...
So the ocean calmed off nicely and first fish of the day went to Mrstwitchemup with a healthy 65cm Pinky..
Not long after I nailed this fat as Toona on a 6 inch placcy mid water on the jig.. We could see the Tuna darting around about 15m under the boat..
My mate Mak (Fishncrazy) the pinky whisperer with a solid 75cm Pinky jigged up on placcy in 47m..
Mrstwitchemup with a fat as Break Sea Cod that nailed her 6 inch Mcarthy paddletail..
Up next was this Stonker 60cm Red Throat Emperor that drilled my placcy on the drop...
More Pinks we had a double hookup on solid pinks this is my 72cm 4kg model on 6 inch nuc chick...
And the other Pink from the double hookup.. 82cm 5.5kg Honky..
Mak's Tuna that he nailed by winding his 6 inch plastic up off the bottom (no time to tie on a slice) and casting it at the Tuna School as they quickly past the boat...
And to finish of the day I caught this 10kg Dhu mid water in 45m on a 145mm Squidgy Flick Bait (pilly colour)
It was a great morning session back at the ramp by 2.30pm and in total we caught 6 x Dhus 50 - 65cm, 7 x Pink Snapper 60 - 82 cm, 4 x Baldies 45 - 50cm, 2 x 60cm Red Throat Emperor, 2 x Tuna and a Break Sea Cod all on plastics.
Cheers for reading the report..

another epic trip as per usual twitchy.
i'm wondering what plastics rod you use for between 2 and 4 oz weights??
i need a heavier rod for plastics out wider and deeper.
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.
