wednesday the crows were calling and woke up to glass headed out to steep awsome conditions got a reasonable feed out in the 90s home just on dark and it was like glass.I got the WOODUCK hat nw blowie while the others caught reds.
thursday the same flat as up to turtle bay and around cape inscription found ground in the 70-80m mark and it was a hot bite big reds to 7.5kg rankins also solid i hooke something on the electric that nearly pulled the back of the cat around before it broke the surface and spat the squid /not a shark maybe because of speed we think saily or marlin and all hooks and bait still attached then trolled back only to have Steve hook up something solid that tore 150-200m of 37 kg in about 20-30 seconds and parted on the backing line we called that a horse tuna .
