sleepy Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Headed out to Browns on Wednesday at 11am. After hearing lots of bad reports on the radio we decided to stop and start jigging for kingies at the 12 mile, upon pulling up there we watched another boat getting amongst them however we had no such luck. Got to the shelf dropped some lures in then decided to troll to a position North of Browns were our cube trail would be roughly over Browns on sunset.... Then on sunset we started marking some fish on the sounder and got a double hookup unfortunatly losing both fish one to a pulled knot and the other by my cousin not used to overheads go over the button and go straight to red line because it was stuck down. We marked more fish and had crazy Albacore action behind the boat. Got 14 Albaroce up to about 12KG. We hooked one Crazy Albi that jumped out of the water to take a pilchard off the end of the rod tip that was danging above the water. Pulled out the light threadies had some fun till we got smashed by a big Tuna!! Dropped 2 big yakka's out got a double hook up on 35 - 40 fin. To top it off it was now about 6:30 at, dark and my spotties were not working. THen trying to brain spike a tuna with a knife i slipped cutting my little finger which would end up later on geting five stitches. Got on the radio and told anyone who was still out at browns to come and jump on our trail. Had a big cat come and join us before we took off. Water temp was 19.7 and we found no temp breaks from way inside the shelf and didn't mark any bait. Had a really fun afternoon . my cousins second game trip (cause it's way too boring) pics to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
