Phar Cue Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Fished out of JB saturday on my mates 6.8m 'Gee-Wizz' for YFt. After hearing of plenty of Fin being caight we thought it would be a breeze. Anyway fished all day for zero's, went out to the 1,500 fathom line, super conditions but no Fin. There was a comp on and listening to the radio no one had turned a reel. Tried some bottom bashing but again zero's. Sunday came and gave us similar conditions but we thought we would try something a bit different. We filled up the live bait tank with yakka's and slime and headed out near the Banks. Tried 2 spots and had cuttlefish monster out baits then hit another sly spot. First drop must have landed on a Kingies head cause as soon as the bait was at the depth it went BANG! Up comes 14kg of muscle. The next 4 baits came up with 2 x 11kg and a 9kg and a dropped shark. They went off after the shark turned up, so 45kg of Hoodlums and we were off home. Not bad.

That is some nice fish there. .With every 1 having boats and catching just about any species we want these days.I would have to say that the days of CHARTER BOTS are numbered.As i have not been out wide on a charter boats for years,and no need to any more.
