Markwi Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Well it was my intent today to go to the shelf in search of Yellowfin, however my fishing partner pulled out at the last minute, so a quick change of plan was in order as I was by myself. I decided on a kingy jig session and maybe a bottom bash so off I went, halfway to 12 mile I hit something and the sounder looses bottom, obiviously the transducer was hit, after several failed attempts at fixing it , due to its placement on the Barcrusher, I decided to just drop baits at 12 mile. Anyway dropped the baits and up comes the leatheries, so spent the next couple if hours pulling up jackets and a few pearch, the largest leathery went 475mm, so at least I got a feed happy. I was pretty miffed about the sounder you sure miss them. Weather was to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markwi Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Not sure at all but when I got to Oatley and took the boat out it was sitting vertical, probaly would have picked up planes if I was near the airport, no damage though which is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
