Super Deep!
With the forecast looking good early in the week I headed off to do more Super Deep recon work!
Good mate Pete D came out for a run as he was keen for a fish but more to the point his freezer was looking very bare!
The forecast wasn’t spot on and it was a stiff NE’er and what the heck we were committed. I did a fair bit of recon work (a bit quiet this time) and then hit up a spot that has produced a while ago and this time was no different!
The Furuno showed fish and Pete dropped first and got a double header of a Bass groper and a Hapuku. I did the next few drift and got 2 Bass also so we were bagged out!
I was testing out a new super deep flasher light (attracter) that we now stock and bait of choice was the Qualy squid!
Cheers Pete ….. it was good to catchup again

Second last photo and last
What was the difference in water depth, second last photo the fishes eyes are popping right out of it's head. The last photo shows the fish with no apparent depth trauma.
Some great catches guys well done

Popped Eyes!
Cheers Meglodon .... as for depth, same spot and 3 drifts = 4 fish
I've found the Hapuku dont pop their eyes in general and Bass normally always pop but every so often they dont!
I fight the fish manually the same way so weird that happens to some fish/same depth!
