Seazar Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Don't know if I'm the only one who is having massive problems with SST and java. Can't open charts. If you have a solution please pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckegg Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Boys was out there Thursday and to ensure you get em you will have to go wide of Heatons, I didn't and went nude. The temp break is now way east of Heatons (just checked). There was the odd fish east of Browns but there were not many caught in closer. See what is reported tonight...

Nick1987k Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Mate I'd love to head that far wide but in a 6.1 Barcrusher I'll stay in closer an give it a good crack ! Beats been at home ! Call sign blue label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erroll Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We went wide today for a donut. The furthest point was about 7nm north east of Heatons and covered 210klms for the day. Saw a leaping mako, massive dolphins and some whales. No sbt though. Had a great time anyway. Get out there mate. If you choose your day right and are well prepared, there are quite a few boats your size out there doing it safely. Mine is 6.8m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seazar Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Anything over 6 meters is fine on weather like tomorrow. Just make sure you know your fuel useage. That's kind of important. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gully27 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I have a 5.1m with a 220l tank in her I go to browns and wider is it the size of the boat or more the fuel that is the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi all, Just got home. Went as far as Heatons today, turned north then north west and back past Browns on dark. Zeros for us - and everyone else. On 21 no SBT reported, only 1 20kg YFT and 1 boat got some Albacore amongst ALL of the boats that fished today. Bloody tough. Going again to stock up on Gemmies tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seazar Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Any idea on where the YFT and albies were caught??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete76 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hey mate, we caught the yft today, trolled to heatons and on the way back about 2-3nm NE of browns we got just the one. Didn't turn a reel before or after Good luck, very quiet out there today, I think we just got lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.e.p.d Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Boys 4 bluefin were caught well wide of heatons . The fish are in the current that's why they are so far NE. Fished over 300 km. the whales where pilot whales heaps of them. Large dolphins we jumping . The bluefin were all over 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFM Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We went Browns last weekend from Roseville in a Surtees 6.1 Gamefisher. Trolled around brown cubed, caught a 150 mako. Then trolled south east for about 12 miles then back home, a few mac tuna on the way home. The boat was great no problems, felt really safe used 73 litres for the whole day. So you should be ok.

Little Hooker Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) I have a question maybe someone in this chat can answer.We headed out to heaton's for the first time on my mate's boat which has an airmar 1kw transom mounted transducer on a HDS7 and it seems to lose the depth reading around 1500mtrs down. Is that normal?? Whats the capability of these transducer?? TIA Edited July 13, 2013 by Little Hooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that normal?? Whats the capability of these transducer?? TIA I would like to know this also, i have the airmar p66 and it doesnt even read the depth at 50fathoms... This cant be normal? Very dissapointing day, launched from port hacking, pinned it to browns then trolled from browns to ne of heatons and back in a 5.5m boat. Thats fishing though. Used 140 litres. If your heading out, make sure you have enough fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batfishing Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We left Pt Hacking at 1130, headed to browns, did a troll over the shelf, then trolled from browns towards Heatons for about 9nm, turned back towards Browns, and had a double hookup on 2 small stripeys about 6Nm from Browns. Continued to Browns, shut down the engines, fired up the genny and cooked dinner whilst we cubed. Gave it away at 7.30, and did just on a 1 hour run back into Port Hacking. Bugger all on the fishing scene, but saw 2 whales, 1 seal and bunch of albatross, good company and enjoyable day.

FFM Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The boat is a 6.1 Hard top, with a 200 litre tank with a 150 Mercury 4 stroke on the back. I am very pleased with it. There were two of us on board. We started at 6 am got back at 4:30, motor was only off while cubing say and half the time fighting the mako say 1 1/2 h. We travel to the shelf at 25 knots and on the return trip. We trolled the rest of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's feet deep on the map. I fished with erroll and we covered 210km over the water. We were at browns by 8am counted 30 boats, aimed for heatons and trolled from half way to it most off the day. Saw little bait, just no luck. Could see boats around is all day even out at heatons. Most were doing the same thing, we were waiting to hear a call out over the radio but it didn't happen.
