well done Ant a reel knuckle breaker

We had a few days at the coast with the family and launched on Friday from DSBC, a reel

k*K launch the tractor driver dropped us short into the shore dump, Richard had to jump off to get us straight then we got away

We went to the barges and caught plenty of Makies, I caught a beauty just on 600mm the rest were smallish.we headed to the ledges a clean run but some big big slamming
holes

Richard also copt a knuckle breaker, something big the 9'' scarbie burnt a hole in his shorts and into his leg, it was very very quick 5 secs at the most

[size=78%] [/size]
then my body started to pack up

so back on shore and a couple of

can still manage those ok

Thanks for report Dodger, sorry about all the mishaps. Agreed the sea was still wild on Saturday thanks to the new moon.

Launched late at 12:30pm from DSBC on Saturday as the afternoon was free and looked forward to some quiet time on the sea. Water at 21.8 degrees. Battled for live bait so trolled on a pleasant sea until i found dolphins around 2pm...and had a triple hook up of yellowfin tuna. Landed two fish of 16kg each and a final of 31kg. Great fun to have three fish on the go at once...and all in all, a good afternoon.

Tuna caught in the bay. Initially trolled out to Number One and then hooked up just south of the red and white beacon that ships use to line up for harbour entry. Had four lines out, was calling it quits and had pulled one line in already. Then saw dolphins and pulled the remaining lines towards them. Then the reels started to scream...

Great stuff Patrick, nice fish well done.

We tried yesterday, was a hard days work with no reward, but it beats standing on the beach watching.

Both you and i, now i see why the guys pull the piss out of landrover owners.

I bought my landrover purely to tow and launch my boat. Its been out of action now for almost a month.

The mechanic says its an auto electrical issue, the auto electrician says its a mechanical issue.

I changed my spark plugs yesterday and it fired up

Now just to get some decent weekend weather to launch again

After a long two months of very poor weather conditions, work commitments and general fishing obstacles we managed to get a gap on Saturday and I hooked up with my buddy Clint to take our lighties fishing on his rig off Shelly Beach. The forecast was for light NE with a very small swell so we jumped at the opportunity. We managed live bait quite quickly and headed out to some deep marks to try for an Amberjack, Yellowtail or geelbek. The current was pushing a bit (2-3 knots average) so I worked the jig while Clint and his son Owen (13) sent livebaits down. There was no action for an hour or so and we decided to move to an inshore reef to try and beat the current. Our first few drifts on the shallower line were pretty quiet and I rigged up a lighter rod for my son Ryan (8) to do some scratching for bottom fish while we worked the jig and bigger baits. His first down got him hooked up to a very decent slinger which he landed all on his own. Shortly after we found a showing and Owen bagged a decent geelbek, followed by Clint. Ryan was super eager to get in on the action so I re-rigged his rod with a bek trace and 16 oz sinker and he sent a fresh redeye down to have a go. Within a minute he hooked into a bek and then realised he had a tussle on his hands! Credit it to him he never gave up and reeled it up from 50m all on his own, i helped him here and there to keep the rod clear of the gunnel so the grinder didn't get smashed up. It was great seeing the kids doing well and we finished up with 5 bek and a decent slinger for the morning. Some early reports of dorries coming our way so that will be our next mission.
