lukeric Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Hi, Headed out with the missus today from Shellhaebour ramp,We launched the boat at 330pm and headed a few ks out off bass point. There were birds working everywhere so we troll over near them with bibbed minows and 4 inch skirts.Nothing there so head out a little further to about 75m of water then minow on snapper rod goes off folllowed by a skirt, short fight and two small albacore about 3-5kg are boarded at about 4pm.Reset lures and within 5 mins we have a double hookup again about same size .Then a triple hookup and lines nearly tangled saw three more boarded.All within 5 ks of harbour.. With a good feed on board we headed back to harbour and had fish and boat cleaned by 530pm. What an action packed afternoon of fishing. Any one in small boats wanting a bit of good action should head out tomorrow while theyre there.

WANNAFISH Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I wish my missus goes fishing. But in the positive side, she doesnt know how much I spend buying stuff for fishing. Good catch guys. It looks like its going to be a very good fishing season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
