Pinkie on Halco Twisty
Submitted by Fisheagle on Sun, 2014-03-30 22:19
Mate - Nic and I were chasing Tuna that were smashing bait fish at Stragglers Reef. I tossed a Halco Twisty into the school of Tuna and set the hook on a positive take. After a short fight and anticipation of my first Tuna, I was surprised to find a 66cm Pinkie with the treble firmly hooked in it's mouth. I did not expect to find a Pinkie hunting amongst the Tuna.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

But that picture is sooo clear.
What camera was used. More my photomad stepson asking than me using a simple compact all the time.

Nikon 3000D
I use a Nikon 3000D which is set on "Auto" most of the time. I do not have time to figure out settings when fishing, I want the fish snapped, released and my lines back in the water in double quick time - ready for the next fish. Where I missed out on the correct setting on the camera, Lightroom allows me to correct when I get home. Hope this helps.

Tah mate. Have to admit I hardly ever bother with photos fishing because I want to get back in and at them.

Still on bucket list
Unfortunately not - still on my bucket list. Need to figure out how, where, when etc. We just happened to see the birds and decided to investigate. We ended up with fish-fever and by the time we got going the Tuna were long gone! Next time we will be better prepared. Been fishing for most my life and still get fish-fever when the bite is on.
