Super Deep Yesterday 25/5/15 - Another Trip!
With yesterdays (25/5/15) awesome forecast I had to go Super Deep - Yes Again!!
My staff member Marc was keen to get out there after seeing my last trip out. I said do a roster swap with Reese (my other staff member) and lets go!
We set off not too early and planned an arvo fish. I said to Marc what fish would you like to catch ...... he said any Super Deep fish would be good but a bass groper on jig would make his day .... great no pressure ha ha .... I suppose I did ask!
I went to a few spots and my Furuno sounder was quiet. I said bugger it lets go for a drive and hit up another spot!
On arrival I located solid fish on my sounder and Marc said what fish are they in your opinion? I said descent Bass as the echo is the right colour, the showing is dense and correct formation!
Marc attached a bait (whole slimy) with an Esca light attached and down it went. Within seconds he got a hit and he was on. After a manual wind up/fight he landed a nice Hapuku!
I re-set the drift again and this time Marc was keen to get a fish on jig. He attached a Super Deep jig (with Esca) and down it went. It wasn't long before he hooked up big time!
Straight away I said yep that's a solid bass and after a long manual wind/fight up surfaced a solid bass groper on jig. After a few high fives and pics Marc asked me what the weight would be and I said around 30kg (weighed 30.1kg on digital scales back on the main land)
I went back over to find the fish again but goneski. I drove around for a while and picked up another school on an edge not far from where we hooked up!
The formation looked like blue eye trevalla so down went my Super Deep jig. Jig jig Jig jig and I'm onto a descent fish, after a good fight and manual wind up I landed a descent blue-eye trevalla on jig!
I could of dropped again and got another but decided to leave them on the bite and my big esky was looking very healthy!
We ended steaming back in at just over 40knots with another day of quality fish landed, awesome weather and great company .... Cheers Marc!
Gear used;
* Oceanside Custom Super Deep Rigs
* Japanese Super Deep jigs
* Esca lights attached to bait rig and jigs
If your wanting any Super Deep info we specialize in this form of fishing. We've been fishing out there for many years now with great results!
Mark & Reese my staff members are very knowledgeable and happy to help!
Cheers for reading, Ryan Thipthorp (Oceanside Tackle and Marine Owner)

Wired for--- sound, er
You do have it wired Ryan , and gee those deep fish always seem to be big , fat , healthy fish aye,
I guess its the cold water temps down there. We noticed when cutting up rubies , that they seem to have
a extra fat layer under the skin, compared to say goldbands, reds etc.

Three super species in three drops, nice work. Should have chased a grey band. ;) Great skippering once again.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Those fish would've been a long, painful manual wind to the surface
