up north again
so we arrived at the hot spot alot earlier than last time and arrived to a 20-30km wind and weed scattered everywhere got the lines in and waited for the tailor to say g'day. 30min ticked... one hour ticked.... then bang by about 4.30 scott99 beats his personal best from last week of a nice 59cm tailor (sorry mate couldnt make it 2 footer, next time u will ;)) and the bite was on.. but only this time they didnt hang around for long but we did manage to get 2 over 55cm and about 8 around the 45cm mark including a 55cm snook and quite a few big bull herring. So the suns coming down, time for quick cook up, change of rigs and game plan.
Out go the big baits chasing shark, was very quiet for some time before the runs started happening around midnight! But so many runs for so little shark. Rays were literally everywhere and no matter wot rig we changed to we just got smashed over again by eagle rays, we couldnt even balloon a bait out cos the wind was terrible. WE both landed 2 eagle rays each the largest tilting the 25kg mark. Though we did get a run which almost spooled us 300m before snapping. we thinking it was one of those big bull rays because we seen a monster well over 100kg sifting in knee deep water just beside us early this morning, never seen a ray so big in my life!!! not including mantas of coarse.
That pretty much wraps it up, bottom line weather and wind were against us and the rays were on the attack, always a great time when ya fishing though :)
Cheers!
kill it??? eat it!!!!
