lukeric Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) We arrived at kiama ramp at 6 and headed for the bait grounds.Bait wasnt interested in any of our jigs so we headed for the canyons.Dropped lures in at the shelf and shortly came across a bait ball on the drop off.Continued trolling east and first hit was in 300 fathoms.The missus was on the rod and shortly landed a nice albacore around 8kg. Reset lures and within 15 mins we were onto another fish.Shortly after another albacore was landed.Another was landed 20 mins later but this one felt a little different on the rod it was fighting like a big snapper, Got it near the boat to see it was foul hooked in the tail. After last weeks success with big fin, Lisa(wife) was spewin cause she had to work that day so she was quite happy to pull in a few fish today. After a bbq lunch reset and land a few more fish. In total 8 Albacore ranging from 7 to 13kg. Great day out, its been a long time since ive seen water so blue and clear.

lukeric Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Go the girls! Awesome stuff! Shoudl get involved in some clubs, so many prizes-0 and good ones too go begging due to lack of female particpants yaeh she was pretty stoked.We are in Kiama GFC fished the interclub in March and she caught a Wahoo which weighed 19.5kg, she would have taken out top female and best other game fish, but someone who was up late tying doubles didnt double check the 10kg outfit and it was 100mm too long so that fish was disqualified .Good fish though yum yum.

sanger Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Damn thats a nice hoo!!!! how do they fight??? judging by the shape they ought to move like a bullet!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeric Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Damn thats a nice hoo!!!! how do they fight??? judging by the shape they ought to move like a bullet!!!!! They do go hard. Aparently one of the fastest fish. Looked like she was gunna pass out after the fight, then 10 mins later it was still herstrike a marlin hooked up but after a 1.5hr fight it swam at speed toward the boat and spat the hooks. Good fun, cant wait to get into some this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
