rob boban Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) G'day raiders, Went for a fish off botany today with my brother Tom AKA Uglystick. Plan was to head out wide and try and get into some big fish, NO SUCH LUCK , although we did get see a small striped marlin come up to the surface and say hello in about 150m of water. We trolled around browns for a few hours, 5 or 6 km north, south and east of it and the best water temp we could find was 19.9, 20.0 degrees. We decided to head back in where we sighted the stripey and when we got there we come across a hell of alot of birds going crazy on the surface, our thoughts THERE HAS TO BE FISH HERE !!!. So out comes the starlo stix mid spin with chrome metal on it and first cast in the boat comes a striped tuna . in the kill tank he goes, another cast and the bail arm on the stradic 4000 clicks back over mid cast and that was the end of that lure . We started to troll some little tremblers around and got 2 hook ups and droped both fish at the boat, don't think the hooks set. Forget this we start cubing and get them around the boat and off goes the stradic once again after a bit more drag screaming action in the boat it comes . That was it, after that they went quiet, spooked i guess . Anyway all in all a good day out on the water and back at he ramp by 4pm.

Penguin Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Well done, we got into a few of them outside of Syd heads on our way to 12mile yesterday, we had a ball spinning them up. They are little pocket rockets when they see the boat. penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
