Ken A Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 LAST WEEKENDS REPORT .A BUNCH OF "FISHRAIDERS" GET THEIR ARMS STRETCHED…….. From Ross and Glenn Hunter What a joy it was to take out a bunch of "Fishraider" members. It is easy for us skippers when the crews are easy going, they work in as part of the crew and above all are determined to have a great day on Mother Ocean even if the fishing goes to crap.It did not do that thank goodness. It is sometimes difficult for us skippers because we do appreciate that the customers pay us a lot of money and it is so much nicer to have a great day catching fish than go from the "penthouse to the S….. house" and not catch them. It is so much easier however when you have a crew of fisherman on board who are fisherman and with the "Fishraiders" we had that. On Billfisher and Broadbill both Glenn and myself really enjoyed your company and we do appreciate you all being so patient in waiting for the yellowfin to bite. The yellowfin are in our waters but they haven't been biting until late……..thus making extremely long days for skipper and crew .Leave at 7am…. finish cleaning up and ready for home at 8.15pm We have caught some great catches of tuna over the past month but alas on the weekend they played hard to get, however given that fact, perserverence always pays off and we managed to catch the crews some really nice yellowfin We do not have individual's names but apparently they are writing their own report. On behalf of Glenn and myself : Thank you "Fishraiders" it was fun Jimmy Arteaga and Danny Ross caught these great tuna on the weekend on Billfisher Love me love my tuna Dave Fenech and friend They are Fishraider fanatics No longer a tuna virgin Paul Hobbs & friend with a couple tuna A beautiful sunset on the way home A great day was had on Billfisher - Heading home in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jewel Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well done guys, bloody nice catch!!!! Looks like you got the Penthouse and we got ......... but thats gamefishing! It was a good day out on the water for us despite no fish coming aboard. Ross and Johnny the decky were good company and did what they could short of dancing nude on the flybridge to raise a few tuna for us but unfortunately it was just not to be. At least no leatherjackets turned up that far out. Impulse, we had 3-4m of swell on the way out but they were not too steep and Broadbill feels pretty seaworthy, I wouldnt worry too much you will get there and back, hopefuly with a few fin!
