Browns Bottom Fishing

[livinthedream]

went out to browns this morning in search of a fish or two. Picked up at 6am, put the boat in and headed for browns. approx 10km out we set the lures and got the bottom rigs ready. not a touch on the lures, we arrive at our destination and send our two reels down (alvey reef kind and 12"). after a slight delay due to an over run on the reef king we reel in the first drops, wich resulted in 2 blue eye on the king and one on the 12", not a bad start we thought. we did the drift another 4 times with a mix of blue eye and gemfish.

we lost one string of fish to a bolt of speed about half way up, shark?????

anyway final tally for the day was 6 gemfish and 5 blue eye, biggest gemfish went 5kg and blue eye 15kg(gutted and gilled weight) had cubes on board but conditions wern't ideal so we pulled the pin, trolled 8km then gunned it in. home by 2
