Pongrass18ft Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hi Raiders Decided to go out with Meng (gonefishing) offshore today to enjoy a good days fishing. Out and about early on the water to gather some bait at the heads managing two squid and a couple of large trevalley plus some pillies which we brought with us. Seas were flat so we headed for Brown's getting there at a lazy 9:30am. Couldn't miss the mountain as I counted 28 plus boats all in one spot. We dropped our bait just wide of the mountain and did the drift back towards the mountain keeping our space from all the other fishermen. Great fun we had managing our four gemmies in a couple of hours. Our next mission was to try for some sharks and hooking onto a large Mako which we lost in the fight. Then hooking a blue shark which we got boat side estimate over 2 metres and my first blue shark I have ever hooked and seen, was cut loose boat side (sorry no photo's as we didn't manage to take any). Definitely thumbs up for Mako's as they give a better fight on the rod. All in all was a good day and a new PB gemmie (110cm) for me.

Linc Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Great effort, it sure is a good thing that Gem fish taste better than they look, I forgot how ugly they are as it's been ages, but they sure do go nicely for dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
