Well done dude my very first fish at browns was the very same sort of set up, hard work. Now days i use an electric reel.
-
I cubed east of southern canyons had makos at the boat and got sick of catching Albies. Catch and release on albies lol kept a couple for a feed let the rest go and had fun catching them. Lotsa yellowfin caught but not by me unfortunately. The day panned out beautifully late arvo.

Rip charts show a different view compared to fishtrack, looks good Pete. Anyway chat out on the water tomorrow, what time you leaving ? Ill be heading out about 6am
-
Im heading out from botany straight to the temp break its almost off the gong.
-
The things you can come across when out on the water, pretty nice looking conditions apart from that, very rarely see something like that.
-
Your spot on Damo, well said.
-
That lumo has caught me a 190 kg blue marlin lots of yellow fin albies and heaps of dollies
-
The 2 bottom lures, the most productive lures i own 8inch pakulas evil & lumo.

Cheers Steve

I use fishtrack and find ok have never used ripcharts but from what I can see ripcharts is not cloud free and sounds like a rip off. Fishtrack is $80 a year & and shows temps currents and gps co ords and u can even add your own gps marks cant complain at that price.

Yep ill 2nd that i have the Garmin 1020xs with a 1kw transducer with the chirp technology and i pick up browns easy.
-
Yeah that's what I thought but a couple of weeks ago I called out to happy hooker and I asked if it was peter and the guy said it wasn't so there must be another happy hooker boat out there
-
You wouldnt believe I didn't have a squid jig on the boat other wise i would have caught stacks of them, the stripies were hiting even 8 inch lures. I should have stayed where i got the albies but wanted to try get close to that break behind heatons.
Anyway thats fishing and that's what drives you, next trip will produce, hope the weathers kind this year thats the biggest factor.

I went out Friday night, got to Browns for a bottom drop but the current was doing a couple of knots so kept going wide, got to the 1000 fathom line NE of browns and started cubing. Squid everywhere out there behind the boat then just as it started to get light got a hit but dropped it, then half an hour later an alby, then another then noting. Dragged lures all the way out to heatons and all we got was stripies. We ended up chucking them back we were getting got so many we got sick of catching them. Did 230klms round trip unless my sounder is out the temp was 19 degrees where we got the albies and 19.5 at heatons but apart from that nothing but thats fishing maybe another week possibly 2 there out there but just a touch to wide atm, back out the first chance i get tho.
-
Thats a shame mate. That break must be a fair way past heatons still.
-
Thanks for that, good to see people sharing info thats what makes this site so good, i will be out saturday and happy to share if i come across anything on Madracket.
Cheers Steve
-
Yes i no just thought id ask but its looking good.
-
Would any one be kind enough to post a pic of the current rip charts atm please just to see how far out the temp break is now ?
-
Fingers crossed that eddy pushes in there might just be some fin on the edge. Ill be giving it a good go.
A mate once said, dont wait for the news go out and make some lol
-
Thats a brilliant idea :-)
