Ulladulla

[lennon_2101]

Spent 4 days in Ulladulla from Monday through to Thursday of last week. Due to the poor weather we only managed to get the boat out on the Wednesday afternoon.

Took off out of Ulladulla harbour about 1130 to catch the 1pm high tide. Found some schools of Bonito on the surface in about 60m of water so had some fun with that. There was a bit showing on the sounder down deep so we thought we would have a jig. Ended up jigging for the best part of 5 hours (very sore the next morning!). Much to our suprise we landed around 12 rat kings all of about 60cm. Some of the fattest 60cm kings I have ever seen so they are obviously eating well down there! Catch of the day went to my mate Luke who landed 2 kings on the one jig on his second retrive! unbelievable! Also managed to get onto a few rather large barracuda which was good fun, the biggest going about 75cm. Sorry, no photo's due to not wanting to take the camera out in the rain.

Water temp still very low with 15 degrees and the occassional 16 degree patch.

Typically, can't fish Thursday as we have to get back home early because one of the guys has to work and the weather is a sunny 27 degrees with not a breath of wind and no swell to be seen! lucky we had a good afternoon on the Wednesday otherwise I would have been spewing!
