Great Day Deep Sea Fishing Out Of Port Hacking 8/8/10

[crazyboutfishing]

7 from what was originally ment to be 10 met up at Tonkin Wharf to head out on a charter for a bit of deep sea fishing. Left at 05.30AM and headed out south of Port hacking heads.

Before any fish was caught the morning was started with a great sighting of a Hump Back Whale which past really close to us, giving us a bit of a show.

We got to our first spot for the day and I started the run of fish by catching my first Moey at 40CM!! But that was only just the beggining, my record fish for the day was shortly lived after my friend Tim pulled in a 42CM Snapper, followed shortly after by Dom pulling in a 43CM Snapper!!

After this the fish kept on coming from all of us, including plenty of Perch, Nani Guy, Pike, 2 Pig fish, Snapper and Moey, plus a few fish we didn't eat like Barracuda etc. Follwed by Dom surprisingly catching a salmon on small strip of squid.

After a few hours fishing, we had another visiter except this time it was a seal, great to watch but not so great when he is after what you are trying to catch. Afer a short while we moved on and luckily are unwanted friend did not follow.

After settling at another great spot it wasnt long before Ian had a big hit on his Rod! After a bit of a battle which thankfully Ian won he pulled up this massive Barracuda, it was bigger than any of us on board had seen before, including the crew. It was roughly around 1.5 Meters!!

After a great few hours fishing and only a short time to fish left we all believed that Dom had won the trophy with his 53CM Salmon(Ians Barra didn't count as its wasnt a fish we was going to eat). Then all of a sudden with one of my last cast's I felt a big hit on my Rod, this was lots tougher than the other fish I had been catching so I knew if I could bring it in I would be in for a treat!! And what a treat it was, a 56CM Snapper!!

So all in all a great day and a few new personal bests for me.

Thanks to all the guys who came out with me, what a great days fishing hey and thank you Pip and Blake from bravo fishing for taking us out to some great spots, we will see you again for sure.
