DGF Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Went to avoca both saturday and sunday bumped in to RayR on both days was very quiet on both days saturday only managed one frigate on a plastic squid + float as popper, sunday saw the black fish were playing around tried to get some of them on some weed while i waited for any sign of bonito's only got one happy moments which i chucked back, then when ray came along i managed to get a fatty mack tuna was fun first mack tuna ever he died from being whacked on the rocks because it was going banana's havn a fit when i brought it up, kept it for bait for another time .. no action for an hr or so and ray decided to go home as he was walking off i got a 53cm bonito using same method plastic squid + float after that was dead so i left n went home with at least one fish to feed on PB Mack tuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGF Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Nice Mack! There's been a few around of late. And don't they sound like an outboard going 300mph when they're outta water!!! I've all but given up on using bait since December. I also rarely fish Avo anymore either (for my own reasons). The only time I use bait on the rocks now is livebaiting or the occasion pilly-toss when I'm out early waiting for first light... Couple of quick tailor before spinning never hurts! haha yeah was like it was having a fit it actually killed it self from banging its head so much i cut it up n salted it for next time might try somewhere closer to home for a jewie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
