offtap1 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) 3 Raiders 2 Friends and My Old Man hit Ross and Glenn Hunters Game Fishing Charters on Board Billfisher with Glenn and deckie Emu for Yellow Fin trip Sunday 09/07/06. Must say absolutely Hats off to Glenn and Emu for there 100% commitment and perserverance which paid off. Trolling out to browns and around for nothing coming up to play. By Early Arvo Glenn pulled up for Drift while Emu started Cubing , with a nice slick running in current and lines out ready for action the waiting game started. Few jokes a few Beers later. Glenn wasnt going to be beat. Then they came, our first hit as sun disapeared over sydney. I was first up, heart beating, rod pumping , line stripping could not ask for a better Buzz , then colour , Yes my First Yella Glenn Gaffed and on the deck she was. Emu kept the Cubes going right through. Threw lines back in what do you know a couple more spotted swimming in slick taking pillies. A few minutes with Glenn in control another hooked with mate James on , this one wasnt giving up with the full rear of boat being used as a runway. James wins as another yella hits the deck. Lines back in with one still hanging around and yes again Gregs on Hit close to boat this thing took off like a train Greg chasing around to opposite side of boat , and unfortunately taking line straight under boat and dropped hook. 3 hooked and 2 boated absolute heart pumping action for all on board. Sorry about long post but i cant stop thinking on this experience. Oh yeh as true mates Both fish cut up and shared between all. James on second Yella. Me and my baby.Yellow Fever. Mate Watto and my Proud Dad Joe hold up the prizes Edited July 12, 2006 by offtap1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Reely Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Nice fish, can i ask, were you out there all day? Or was it an afternoon trip. If Ross stayed out there all day from the morning just to get you one, he is a true legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Glenns boat billfisher and left about 7am got back to dock 7.30pm 100% commitment from Glenn and emu sounds like a long day came good at the end what sort of gear were you guy's using to tame the beasts? The gear was supplied Shimano 50LD reel 24kg Mono Shimano Rod i think backbone Well done mate they are some great looking fish i have to get onto one of those beast one day. How much did the fish weigh?? Although fish not officially weighed they would have been around 28kg i would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
