Saturday at Browns

Hey Everyone.

For the first time and defiantly not the last I was able to go a game fishing charter.

Me and my friends on a great day of fun, and sea sickness, hehe

We started the day out by heading to Browns. It was a little rough for my taste so I was the first to get sick.

We dropped in and pulled up the head of a big gem fish. As it got right to the surface we saw a 2 meter mako come up and hit it. We managed to get the head in the boat and then throw out a shark line.

Took less then a minute to hook the shark. Then the fight was on. It just kept taking line. After about 20 minutes we managed to get it right to the boat before it threw the hook. Saved us having to get to close to it but we missed out on some good photos.

After a while we managed to bag a total of 6 gem fish, mine measuring 105cm and weighed about 6-7kgs. During which we lost at least 6 more to sharks. Either by pulling in just a head or by pulling in cut line.

Afterwards we went to the tuna grounds and left a nice pilly trail. We did see some action in the water but nothing was touching our lines.

All in all it was a great day and we had a blast.
