blower Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hello All, managed to get out for a run in the boat this morning after finally completing some major reno's. Couldn't be sure how the conditions would be but the wind seemed pretty light around five. The sea was up a bit and there was some swell but nothing too bad and with my first hit just outside Jibbon headland the fishy look was confirmed. I fished 15lb on my TLD5 as most of your recent reports mentioned smaller fish, so after a few runs in came an amberjack around 50cm. Not a bad start after only a few minutes and a first for me of this species. A few small bonito on the way to where I usually target kings got my feel back in for the boat and the fish. Down at the headland north of Marley was a three squid, three passes and three kings affair. All downrigged on double hook rigs. The old TLD5 got a good going over and what with one king going 70cm the fights and boat driving really smartened me up. Anyway, back on the trailer and home by 8:30am was a quick and productive session with dinner accounted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out yesterday and today briefly and there were Kings smashing the surface at a couple of spots. Also some better fish holding down deep...

blower Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks hamerz and ALPHABET, I still do love an all day affair but the quick fish with good results will always tie me over with limited time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
