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..

Lloyd
