xiphias_gladius Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Fished outside the Kiama Canyons on Sunday for 6 'fin. Size ranged between 16kgs and 32 kgs. Chilly day on the water... with moderate S/E winds, but the fishing was HOT!! Trolled 'til we started seeing the temp guage on the sounder jump around a bit and had a quadrulpe hook-up on striped tuna... good as spot as any for a cube. 1st fish was taken on a live slimy after around 45 minutes of cubing, next five were taken around 2 hours later (3 of which were from a successful triple hook-up!!). With 6 fish boated and 3 anglers on board we had reached our quota. So we left them biting and called it a day. Boys were all smiles and plenty of tuna steaks and sashimi for all. Variety of methods caught fish - cubes, surface livie and even deep set livies (around 30 fathoms down). All in all an awesome day!! XG.

kiwi waynie Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 We must have seen you at some stage, we were out there from shell harbour ramp in the seafarer "spooled". We didnt go out as far as some of the others or do as good, lost a est 20kg fish 20 min into the cube, didn't get another til on the troll back. Which was a lil 8.7kg yft and my first, smallest fish back at the ramp but you still couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Just waiting to get the photos off a mate so i can post it up.

xiphias_gladius Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just curious, in the second and third photo, those chunk's cut up on the bait board, are they slimies cut up? Yeah mate there are a few slimies mixed in with our cubes. We tend to mix up our cubes a lot - pillies, stripey tuna, slimies, yakkas etc, etc. Works for us and slimey cubes stay on the hook well also.
