Out With Saltwater Charters 25/3
Headed out with some customers on Friday with Craig at Saltwater and had one of the best days on a metro charter that i have ever seen. 1st port of call was a run past rotto to troll for some mackies, about 20 minutes in one of the rods went off and after about 10minutes the first fish of the trip was landed,a nice 15-17kg mackie. We then headed out to one of the barges, i jigged away on the bow and scored some nice sambos and xos skippy to 4kg while down on the stern i see this rather large fish floating 20meters out on the surface.Most think its a sambo but i see a big paddletail pop out of the water.One of the boys had scored a 15kg+ mulla off the wreck.Then 3 minutes later another punter hooks up and scores another mulla of exactly the same size. I had always heard of the occaisonal mulla coming off the barges but was super stoked to see two off these awesome fish landed in less than two minutes..jpg)
We then put out the skirts and trolled out to the fremantle fad but the surface action was very quiet,not even the ever reliable southern blues were around.When we got there the spearos had been out and the dollies were very skittish and not really interesed .We then trolled out to the Derwent for a look but only a handfull of pan sized pinkies were on hand.None less we had enough fish for everone and headed back to freo witha a boat load of happy customers. It had been a while since ive headed out Craig but good to see the passion is still there for putting the punters onto some different fish and quality snacks as always.

We saw you guys at the FAD.
We saw you guys at the FAD. Saw some spearos arrive at all marine after we'd been there a while (not much point staying). They were pretty much shutdown before they were there though. Had about the same bites at both so coulda just been a not very active day. We only got them on very specific things.
We did see one of the guys on SW but ended up being one of those slimey brown stripy things that sit under the fad.

Nice fish!
We are recommending Saltwater to everyone who enquires about metro fishing down here on the strength of you guys reports. Must get up there and meet the guys myself one of these days.
Cheers

Good day out there
with a good variety of fish.Craig runs a great metro charter and gives a generous discount to Fishwrecked members.
I hope he continues his association with Fishwrecked. He's had some happy punters this year

getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.
