Albacore, Blue Shark


Secho

Recommended Posts

Headed out yesterday, lots of healthy bonito to be found everywhere outside Botany Heads. Also found a big patch of bait so got into some slimies as well.

From there we steamed out to Botany wide FAD where we managed to pick up two Dollies.

After the FAD we punched it out to Browns and put out a spread in hope of some fin.. trolled wide of browns until we were about 35 miles out, pulled the lures in and started the trail.

We had been cubing for 4 1/2 hours when we jagged a good albacore on the jig, came in just on 12kg's.. not long after that we had a shark out the back that we watched cruise away from the boat into the sunset.. thought it had lost interest and moved on however it was back at the boat in a matter of seconds and we were hooked up.

Took about an hour to get it boat side where it made a fine mess of the paint job, chewed on the transom ladder and then bit down on the rear rail where it got lock jaw and stayed there all the way home.

Not the best pics of the shark, might put up a link to the go pro footage - pretty funny episode.
