Wide troll and Jig off Sydney

[blower]

Hello All,

managed to tee up with a couple mates for a troll wide out of Botany today.

Things started out well enough when running up the coast in close looking

for bait. Struck a few Bonito (some good bait size) and a beautiful looking

Saurie spun up before heading out to the shelf via the Peak and the 12 Miler

and their associated FADS.

Conditions were smooth and blue with temps. around 23.5 to 24.8. Nothing to

report on the trolling but did hear from a fella of his spread being fought

over by two striped marlin out towards Browns. Double hookup and all.

Our day was saved by a quick jig at the 12 Miler with my mate smashing a

real fat 110cm model weighing in at about 14kg. He made a fool of me with a

good 5kg backup and that was that.

All up a great day with a few mates.

Yeah thanks all for the encouragement,that king was very healthy.

That and the other fed four families last night with more for today.

Was smooth out there right into the late arvo and my god the heat

hits hard when you get back on land.
