ophet Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Hi raiders, first i would like to say I love reading all your fishing reports. I log on each day to see where the action is, LOVE IT!!! Today me and one of my mates headed out to browns. first we got some livies in the harbor and the headed the long way out. The wind was stronger than forecasted so there was a lot of chop on top, which made the ride even longer. by the time we got out there we both felt a little sick but that was not going to stop us. we started off trying for blue eye but failed. soon we moved on to what we came out for YFT!!! we cubed for about five minuets and then my rod went off!!!!!! The fish went for the horizon, i thought i was going to be spooled so I pumped up the drag. After a while it stated to go deep and as i started to bring it up i could see the colour and after a few more minuets the size. For me it was the second YFT I have ever caught and it was the biggest. 40kg!!!!! After we brought it in my mate had a crack for a while but nothing happened. I’m still waiting on the pics from my mate so will post them soon. Here ya go guys. Thanks for the support!!!!! Nice one Mushtaka, have to be happy with that, love the size of those YFT !!!! I feel sorry for your mate, would have been good to get him onto one. Well done, and made the rough ride out there worth it.
