South for the long weekend..
G,day All,
Headed down to albany for the long weekend in the hope of getting onto some good fish and Luckily was not dissapointed.
We caught some of the best weather ive ever seen down there with both Saturday and Sunday producing light winds and low swell.Due to one of the locals naming one of our favorite bays in a recent Western angler story we decided it would not be long before it would be feeling the pressure of the added traffic and with that in mind decided to head an hour or so out of town to explore some new ground.Heres some snaps.
Misty Morning
Nice double header
We headed only about 5 nm out and cound'nt travel 50mtres without finding huge pinacles or caves in the reef with most showing good fish on them.
Tried to take some pics of the sounder but they didnt work out.
Picked up a couple of yellow Kings.Both hit octo jigs that i was retrieving quickly as we were about to move spots.
Brother in law happy after getting a dhu!
In between all the bottom action there was southern Bluefin Tuna and bonito busting up all over the place..they were rats but were fun on the light gear
Little bastards are hard to hold onto sometimes too!
We had one of the best days fishing ive ever had catching dhus,Reds,queenies,Harliquen,breaksea yellowtail kings and tuna.
Cheers

Looks like you got it all in one day! Bloody brilliant mate. I've always wanted to catch a tuna - those look like little rockets! What did you get the tuna on?
