reelmagic Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Hi Guys, We fished yesterday south from Kiama, all the way down to Point Perp! As in many other areas at present , the birds were quick to jump upon the schools of stripies busting up the surface. Firstly, we easily picked up two small stripies for the tubes then realised that catching tuna, hindered our search for Marlin. We replaced the small lure, however, the tuna still took the bigger ones, including the skipped rigs. The water was 25.4 , current about 1.5. We fished the 140-170m area for most of the day. Without targeting tuna, we still ended up with 14 ! Had to get a few for shark'in! A few boats throughout the day reported several hook - ups! We started at the same area that was holding bait two weeks ago and then headed south. After several hours the swum garie got smashed, then the fish dropped the bait, only the turn and hit the big pakula sprocket on the other corner. After 20 mins with many aerials, the fish won freedom. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The point of the hook was considerably bent! The sea had settled slightly, so we decided to skip a garie in a McWog........ this got hit by a big stripey and as we cleared the teasers, a big Marlin smashed the stripey! Jason struggled to extract the rod from the holder under strike load. Around 6pm, more tuna schools and birds resulted in us hooking up to another fish on the short corner,......... yes the sprocket again! The fish swum past a skip and swim bait to hit this thing! Don't you hate lures? Jumped him off as well! Always next week! ps Forgot about the little yellowfin we found straying with the stripies!

Mr Squid Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well done Dale, we fished the bait station off Longreef for a big fat zero. No dollies arond the fads, not even a stripey to turn a reel on. water temp was 24.8. No sign of bait and the birds were few and far between.

double pluggers Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 As usual an awesome day on the water and what better lunch on a Sunday than fresh yellowfin for the family. Big thanks to Greg and Dale for all the work that goes into making a game boat so successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
