Quick Sunday morning fish!
Well had a bit of a sleep in this morning to 7am, then went and slipped the boat in. Headed north to Bartalumba Bay. Heaps of nice ground thru there, which everyone normally speeds past, on there way to the top of the island, to catch the big fish...so they say! Was a great morning once again wind wise, with just a 3 knot nor easter blowing. Went dark for a while, as the winds were pushing the fog from inland out to sea. Was weird seeing this out on the water, as it looked like some kind of super cell thunderstorm coming!
Casted plugs, poppers and slices around some likely looking spots. Had a couple of good hook ups from trout, but they smoked me into the coral a couple of times. So there is a couple of fish now with new halco peircings swimming around, hopefully they will not start a trend with there mates!
After a while i had had enough of casting, so i headed out to the middle of the bay. Cranked the tunes up and started cutting bog laps up and down some contour lines, until the sounder lit up with some action. Had a couple of drifts on this spot, which produced a nice saddletail and a golden snapper. I was amazed that the goldy had lost its spot already, as it is smaller than the ones i have caught in the past, which all had spots. Maybe..male/ female fish are different. Anyway headed home at 10am..time to clean the house up, after 10 days of fending for myself !

Anything
Anything above 5 knots here and the locals put the boat covers on.We get short chop here, which likes to stand up..if you get stuck out wide..its a very slow trip home!
