Ocean reef 17/5

We launched at Ocean reef around 8.30 with plans to get out to fads and beyond, but the wind was not playing the game. An hour of trolling saw two tuna landed and one dropped behind the three mile. We decided to head back in to fish the tide change in close and anchored on a nice lump that has produced the goods before. Rob put out his berley bag. The usual pickers come in thick (wrasse and blackass). After about 15 minutes Rob gets a solid hookup, after a hard fight on PE2 a nice Dhu pops up boat side, cracker fish especially on a plastic in 10m of water, just over 9.5kg.

Ive been fishing flat out for the last 5 months and ffb has barely produced other than a few pelagics here and there. Totally different compared to a few years ago when i owned the old tub and could just about catch something decent whenever you wanted to.
