james1990 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi guys Myself, my dad (willy) and crazedfisher dude departed cooks river ramp at approx 6.15am in search of the allmighty yellowfin tuna. Smooth run to the heads. After logging in with coastal patrol had a quick troll a few k's off the heads for zilch so pulled in lines and headed to browns, got to the shelf and dropped lines in trolled till we got to brownes about 1NM southwest of brownes the shotty rod goes off (TLD30 2 SPEED, 15KG BACKBONE ROD, 15KG OUTFIT) ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ myself and Chris clear the lines whilst my dad gets stuck into the beast on the other end. A few mins pass as the fish is lying low and dad starts to turn him, we get him to the surface and he took anutha run across the back of the boat and decided to run under the boat and towards the motor ad after a small tussle chris and dad finaly got him away from the motor and in reach of the gaff Chris had a few attempts at trying to gaff the fish but everytime the gaff went near the fish it would dive. Finally got it within arms reach of the boat (i wasn't looking, to busy throwing up) and all i hear is PING and silence. The line had bunched in the middle of the spool causing the doubled knot to catch and snap hence loosing the fish. It was a yellowfin tuna off approx 35kg 130cm, fight lasted 15-20mins. Chris and dad trolled around for abit more for no result, then had abit of a cube, conditions were not suited to cubing so trolled to the shelf ,lines in then headed home. I spent most of the day with my head down, got REALLY seasick. From what i have heard we were one of the only boats to get a YFT today Saw a few other raiders out there also, how'd you go guys? Our first time in the new rig outside and we are very pleased with the result. Thnaks chris for joining us, i learnt heaps from you. I will post some picks up and chris has a few picks too. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abiasin Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 chame on the lost fish there guys and litterally spewing you got sick. do you normally get crook when heading out or did you forget the pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1990 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 I don't take any tablets, they make me even worst. This is the worst seasickness i have had ever. I think i will just have to get use to the new boat. On the previous boat i only got sick occasionlly probably 1 of 4 trips and i wasn't that bad when i was sick. Today i through up everything inside of me including my lungs. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE A Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hey James Sounds like you had a tough day on the water. I had a tough day last Monday I couldn’t wait too see land. Out of interest what lure did hook the YFT on? I might go out on Tuesday did you find and temp breaks? You should post a picture of your new toy mate.

Should bring better conditions which will suit cubing etc... Well done on the YFT too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayKay Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi james, bad Luck on the YFT. It would have been very nice. A couple of the boys went out yesterday (I couldnt go because of work) and in 5 minutes of cubing they were onto a small 10kg tuna. A few hours later they got a smaller version. they told me there was heaps of boats out there but no one was catching anything (of what they could see). There was also one sick fisherman on board. Musnt have been flat at all. JayKay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
