Soupy's Latest Adventure
Went out for an early morning crack at the dollys. Up at 0510 for a 0545 departure, a bit of work after the monthly Rotary Raffles at the pub last night. Between 0630 and 0900 we couldn't stop catching them. It was awesome watching the fish screaming through the waves to get to our lures, with strike after strike. They were even fish hitting the lures that we were trying to clear out of the way after a hook up. After the 0900 the sun was too bright and fish went down. We had a crack for some wahoo with one strike but no hook up. The highlight of the day was probably the 200kg+ marlin that jumped out of the water about 100m behind the boat. He didn't like our lures today, but there is always next time......

awsome. I love tropical fishing like that. And the second photo is one of the best dolly colour pics I've seen, they're a hard one to get on camera lit up like that.

Nothing like some lit up
Nothing like some lit up dollies, bring it on!
Perhaps get some Richter Jellybabes to stretch them on light tackle.

Had a go but no luck
You wouldn't read about it. After we put half a dozen into the ice slurry I pulled out the 4kg bream rod with a Jelly Babe and didn't see another dolly all day. Did get a strike from a Wahoo over a metre long but didn't hook-up.

Lit Up
Agree. They were all very agressive for sure. Even when they were five metres down they looked awesome. Might get in the water and get some underwater photos next time.
