Saturday 28th Report
Headed out of Hillaries 5-00am this morning in a mates boat, beautiful Comodore 6.7m fibreglass boat but badly in need of a new sounder (Sorry Pete, but its the truth). It was a bit choppy early on but we persevered (spelling) and by 10 am were on our way back in again. Result for the day, I had two bites and got two fish guess what they were?
Pete got three bites and landed three fish, his were Baldy, Baldy, Dhuie in rapid succession. One of the baldies was on a really old shimano rod and reel combo that may have a shot at the crapy combo competition. I got some decent footage of all the captures bar one and will cut together a bit of a movie later on. New camera worked a treat, but the way the sun was and how we were drifting made for a lot of shadows, plus the boat was fairly rocking and rolling for all the captures, so not happy overly with the footage but the camera itself worked a treat.
Pics to follow after I have had a swim and a spa and several Carlton Premium Drys.

Guess
I'm guessing it was either really good or really bad, so best scenario is that you got 2 dhuies for your 2 bites, worst case being both scorpion cod. :)
Look foward to seeing a few pics..

Good eachway bet
A scorpion cod and a Dhuie actually! I knew you would guess it Adam. They are my two favourite species.(Hahaha)
But the Dhuie was OK at a lazy 6kgs, nice meal size x about 3 from that little puppy.
Saw a few whales again in about 30m with the Mills Charter boat running a whale watching show for their customers.
Overall a very very quiet morning.

Pete's Dhuie
Was 57cm. I'll get a couple of screen shots off the camera and post up once I work out how to use the software that came with the vid camera.
