Sunday outside

G'day

Headed out Sunday morning in the hope of hitting some snapper early off the northern beaches, then heading out for a troll.

The weather held pretty well with only one or two showers the whole day. Started off swing a pod of I'm guessing 20-30 dolphins around fort denistone, a sight I'd never seen inside.

Hit the first mark in about 26m about 7.30 and hung around for an hour but came up with a donut, not even a bait touched.

A short move into about 19m and we marked some fish so over went the pick. Within half an hour there was chaos, trevally, and tailor everywhere. Then the spotted mackerel turned up, along with some sweep. This carried on for about an hour and even had an albatross dive at a 2kg tailor we had at the boat. Then a 4-5 foot mako turned up and ate every rig we had out but by the time we got the wire out he was gone.

Headed out towards 12 mile and put out the spread to test the outriggers we installed the week before...worked a treat :) the water was alive with fur seals. Counted about 5-10, difficult to tell though. Found a patch of dolphins and birds feeding on the other side of 12 and circled for an hour but couldn't raise fish.

The tally was 7 tailor 1 trev 4 spotties and a strippy. Was a great day on the water.

Yeah didnt get any of the target fish but was great to see so much active marine life...shows how alive the water is. Fishing is fishing and catching is another thing completely haha. And the great conditions definitely helped
