Last Friday I got a call around 14:00 for some guys who had booked a trip for the Saturday with another charter who had just cancelled with them due to the predicted weather conditions for Saturday.. they really wanted to go fishing as asked if i would go out on the Saturday, I sadly declined the Saturday trip but asked if they would prefer a Night Trip as the weather was good and we could launch around 16:00 and return around 22:00.
After all was said and done we met up at DSBC and launched for 16:00 We scratched around for bait but it was quiet.. so I ran down to S#*t Pipe where we managed to find loads. by 17:30 we where sitting out on John Ross with dismal showings.. so we tried a couple of drifts but the current was screaming.. water Temp was good around 22 Deg. We moved off to Ben Corum where we had some good showings but not alot of action. Eventually went to the cave and found some really good showing.. on our first Down 2 of the guys got good takes and after a good 10min fight the Tax man showed up and helped him self to both of there Bek. We then decided to try again and on our 3rd drift 3 of the guys hooked up only to all be taxed yet again..Decided to rather not waste my time and tackle I decided to try on another spot which also seamed to be quiet on the Sounder but on our second drift we had a double hook up again.. but sadly this was not going to be our night.. as once again we had a Tax Audit
taking our fees to 7 Bek. but none the less the Guys had a great time and really enjoyed hooking into some nice fish..
We where back on the beach by 22:30 to load and go..
