Saturday Fishing 03/05/08
Took Hlokk (Matt) out this morning after a late withdrawl from Fishless Pete.
We trolled behind staggies for a while and had some fun with heaps of bonito to 2kgs. Matt had fun on his 4lb bream stick.
We only needed to put the boat in gear and we were both hooked up. Heaps of bait schools on the 20m drop off.
WE headed to a few spots that I thought might fire but nothing. I finally nailed a couple of dhuies and a baldy plus this big shark that we released.
Matt claimed the bigest fish of the day and the biggest fish of his life with a nice sambo that gave him a great fight.
Certainly a nice day on the water but the fish were few and far between.
Cheers

Andy picked up the edible
Andy picked up the edible fish of the day with two small dhuies and a baldchin. I think we caught about 4 bonito each. Released all mine, and andy released three and kept one that was jagged in the eye (made good sashimi
). Caught a flattie and a blackarse but both about 2cm under legal. Picked up a feed of whiting though.
And the shot with the rod in my mouth was because Honsu was the one helping me pick out that combo thu night. The bonito was the first fish on it.
edit: just pulling the piss with the photo ody
. Both appropriate and funny, hehe

I don't think I've seen so
I don't think I've seen so many people catching sharks.
What's the name of the one you caught?

Nice work
Nice work guys, I only have one problem. Check out your hand in pic number one, one little kick from that bonito and we have a new hookup! Easy way to spoil a good day. Just me being a pedantic bugger...

Yeh!
That's what Steve C did when filming, put his hand next to a tuna's mouth and treble nearby. Lets say the tuna did the norm and shook its head and we had to drive back 4 hours to Gero from Abrholos Isl....to think we only got there that day and had to return!

I was stretching the fish by
I was stretching the fish by the tail, so when it shaked it didnt seem like there was much danger of the hooks digging in (going by the tension and the pivot point on the lure). For the hooks to dig in, it would need to launch forward and push the lure up. Certainly something to keep in mind for bigger fish that you cant quite control though.
Did get a bite on the fish on 4lb gear getting the barbs out though. Damn sharp teeth on those bonito. More stuff to add to the list of things not to do later, lol.
