You might be talking about the one that was speared there but that was a while back to ?

That's a really nice slick looking boat Paikea.

Nice fish and definitely a great season for Dollies, I have caught all fish on the troll this season and must say its far more fun not to mention time wasted on catching livies. Cheers steve

Thanks again guys & yep theres some fine dollies out there if you can get passed the smaller fish. Never a dull moment when we go together Cuz that was a good fish on Thursday & put up a good fight on 15kgs That's what drives a true fisho, the hope of catching that fish of a lifetime

Good stuff the smile says it all !! Got a sore neck tho looking upside down lol

Nothing wrong with feeding them to your pigs, infact I used to live in the Mildura are years ago on a vineyard and after the floods we would go down to the billabongs with fibreglass rods out of wine harvesters and slaughter as many as we could and feed the pigs they absolutely love fresh fish. Does not ruin the flavour of the pork at all. what ever was left over we would put into pig traps and the pigs would come from miles to eat the fish it was an easy way of catching the pigs in places we couldn't go with dogs.

Thanks guys & yes Simda that was me that called it for a 25 kg dolly but I over guessed the weight, the adrenalin rush had taken over at that point in time & it just seemed huge. I was so excited looking back on the video I looked like a nut trying to land this fish alone lol http://youtu.be/Pvg4fT6OowI

G'day raiders, last week I had a couple of early job & nocks so Friday after a quick scaffold inspection at the Opera House I raced home grabbed my 2 tiagra 50s & the boat & straight to Tunks getting there at 12.30. Got the boat in & off I went, ( I hate the 4 knot zone at the spit ) got to north head & it was perfect nice and flat. Being solo again I thought I will race out to the 100 mtr mark & see whats happening, passing lots of current line I came across one that looked like glass & the temp jumped from 23.6 to 25.2 deg so I thought im throwing 2 lures out & troll. Dropped both lures in set the drags sat back down & within 30seconds I had a strike but it missed I looked back to see this fish hit the lure again & miss, it did a circle & on the 3rd strike it was on. Wasn't sure at this stage if it was a small marlin or what till it jumped & to my surprise the biggest dolly iv ever seen personally. Pulled the other rod in turned the go pro on and started to fight this thing, 12 minutes later & a few gaff shot attempts it was in the boat & one very happy chappy I was I think the other guys out there could hear me yahooing for miles lol. Trolled a bit more around some traps In the 100mtr area for lots of 65-70cm dollies but threw them all back As I have a freezer full back at home & very content with the fish I caught. Set the timer on my phone took a couple of snap shots out there & a few back at home I will sort out the video on youtube as soon as I can. Fish length was 1670mm long & 18.5 kilos Ps would it be possible to enter this fish for COM ?? Cheers Steve

Definitely looks like the one, cheers for that

Lol yeah that's what I said when I saw them, hungry aggressive buggers they are but.

I went out yesterday with lures only & caught my bag limit in no time at all using my favourite dolly lure, this lure has caught me so many dollies its not funny out fishes live bait anyday. After cutting up the fish I found nearly every Dolly was full of this type of fish but cant find what type it is anyone help here please ?

Try Bellambi beach.

Good on ya great to see they are still about

That would be rite with this weather :-(

How about this for thought, out at Browns this time of year the sharks are in big numbers how many fish do you think they eat a day not to mention following the migration of these fish, like the others if people follow bag limits that are in place the fish will be fine, maybe the sharks need to learn about bag limits to lol

No one will be able to sleep tonight including me, cant wait for the morning see ya out there boys & good luck everyone, fingers are crossed lol

Cheers You heading out over the weekend ? Steve.

That's not good news sorry to hear mate, were the other fish landed caught on lure or on the cube ?

That's fantastic cant wait to get out there myself.

Well done guys.

Great stuff, good to see they are back ;-)

Any idea if the fish were caught on the cube or Trolling ?
