xib Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) got back today from the jervis bay game fishing club junior classic in which my two younger brothers were compeating in. day 1 saw us trolling to the shelf in our trusty little boat jake two. this was the first trip to the shelf for jake and the first trip out the heads for luke (congrats to both of them for not getting sick). apon arrival at the shelf we hit a patch of stripe tuna from which we tagged 3 and lost many more.that got us and early lead but at only 10 points each not much of a lead.we then headed out to 250ftms were jake managed 2 dolphinfish 1 tagged and one good fish of 90cm kept for dinner. the rest of the day was slow until back at the kink the tld 25 loaded with 10kg took off. this time luke was on strike and hooked up to wat we thought was a good size tuna until 40 minutes in a stripe marlin of about 90kg jumped out and all of us went nuts because finally after 8 marlin lost shortly after hookup one stayed connected. dave and his crew on offtap then joined us to guided us through the fight which after two hours ended in dispear when what we later found out would have been a record breaking fish for a smallfry busted us off. day 2 was a late start but we found another patch of stipeys which other compeating jb boats were working. out of this patch we tagged 5 until they moved on. shortly after i spoted a mako crusing the surface. and within seconds of droping in some burley we had him swiming in the trail. down went a dead bait on 24 and strait away he was hooked up and jake had the job of bring him to the boat which wasnt to had until the tag went in. the fish went nuts jumping and striping line.15 minutes later the fish was released. end result saw jake come first, caige from offtap second and luke fourth. matt Edited April 13, 2009 by Jewhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
