plankton Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hi Mike, Good to hear that you're getting out. Nothing like it! I prefer off shore much more these days .. no surprises lefft inside, and given up looking for a big Jewy. Although, got a nice 4kg in front of Clontarf a few weeks ago, which is my PB. I sent you a PM. Yes, still got your number. Bring on those yellow missiles. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusher Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Boarts fuelled up and gear laid out in the garage. Can't wait for tomorrow and Monday. Now for a few drinks with friends at the local. Had the radio on in the boat just now. Seems there have been a few smaller fish taken this morning - but that was only from 20 mins listening to 21. Bruce.

baliboy Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Fin are out there : Dashed out south of Browns trolling with my brother Dave Saturday 25th from 3.00pm to 4.30pm. Got a heap of stripies then at 4.00pm a quadruple hookup YFT. Dropped 2 on small rapalas and boated a 7kg & 8kg on skirted lures. Reluctantly headed home at 4.30pm to watch the sharks flog the titians. Good day Saw plenty of 50kg+ models clearing the water completely, chasing what looked like small stripies (2kg-4kg)???. Expecting a heap of reports of YFT 50kg+ reports from those boats cubing into the dark over the weekend. BLACKMAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 We got some Yellowfin today - 1 @ 5kg, 1 @ 28kg and 1 @ 30kg all on the troll and well south of where the main group of boats were at Browns. Came home early as we are out again tomorrow - Monday. Fish were coming on everywhere in the afternoon as we were heading in. If you want YFT drop everything and get out there NOW while there are fish and fine weather. Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Headed out this morning from the Hacking. Got past Jibbon and at 8am it was blowing a good 15kn from the south (it was a gentle 5kn from the west in the Hacking). The sea was short and sharp. Both boats turned back after 3 miles resolving to go again on Friday. Should have stayed out later yesterday! Bruce.

Crusher Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Hi all, A few more details and images of our successful trip last Sunday :thumbup: :yahoo: . We trolled from 8:40am and found birds and plenty of Stripies. At 1:30pm we got a double hookup of Yellowfin on the skirts we were trolling. Good teamwork by Matt and eldest son James saw us put both fish (28kg and 30kg)on the deck. As we were cleaning up a dumb Blue Shark of about 100kg came up and nosed around. I threw it a pre-rigged bait which it took and then wouldn't swim far enough away from the boat to set the hook! It eventually ran 20m before swimming back to the boat. I fair dinkum could have caught it on 1kg if I had wanted to. I held it near the boat whilst we got a tag ready and after a couple of attempts got it in. We cut the wire and it happily swam away. We continued trolling for more stripies and a 5kg Jelly Bean YFT. All strikes were on skirts, the bibless minow wasn't touched all day. Came in early as we were going out again on Monday, but the short high chop forced us back after a few miles :05: . Will be back out again Friday and Saturday and who knows maybe even Sunday. Tight lines, Bruce. P.S. If you are going out, take care. Edited June 28, 2011 by Crusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lineclass Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Great to see. I've been down the coast playing with SBT at Bermi but can't wait to get out here this weekend and strike it rich. The SBT have absolutely nothing on a yellowfin. Keep up the good work gents Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
