stickybeak Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) What a day it was today of Sydney Took one of my best mates out today And my 2 boys . Last time I fished with Vaughany he lost a big yellowfin at the boat on 24kg after 1hr fight so he was very keen to have another go at big yella. Started fishing at 9.00 same place as we caught last fish 2 weeks ago 8 miles south of browns found heaps of birds lots of fish splashing thinking this is going to be easy today looks very fishy But this went on for hours so frustrating no hook ups did hear few blue marlin getting caught and few yellowfin around the 70kg at the bait station - thinking should of went north but hear now and it looks fishy and current racing south still chasing birds not far away from southern canyons now temp got warmer going south 21.18 12.00 out of no were bang shoty goes of biggest splash took the evil cockroach on15 it took 400m in the first 2 min then gone jumping away with one of my favourite lures broke on the leader . So a change of lures and put a 24 kg on the shoty this time and a marlin lure on it Mogoo yellow lumo. 1.10 pm just cruising through the birds again bang shoty screaming of no jumping marlin maybe yellowfin Vaughany grabs the rod and says this thing is huge so me and the boys wind the other rods in then I get on the wheel the fish is still on top water 15 min later get him near the boat and away he goes 100m straight down still haven't seen him yet 15min later he comes up been a bit of tug a war now he stays on top and we see him and he's big after 40min I grab the trace and gaff in the tail ( I need a bigger gaff ) I wasn't letting go Vaughany put the rod down and grabbed a tail rope and the rest is history .vaughany got revenge on big yella big hi 5s all round my boys r excited how big he is . No weight but measured him 151cm. Long. 105cm girth maybe 60kg he was fat . Caught him 5 miles se of southern canyons in 700m Edited September 22, 2013 by stickybeak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erroll Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Awesome work buddy. Terrific result. We were in your vicinity chasing those birds too but could not get a decent strike (only canned tuna, stripes). They were moving so fast too, hard to keep up with them. Cheers.

kitto77 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hi guys Just to add to this I was out yesterday with fellow raider Don.a, we set lures wide of the Gong, headed east seen birds working around lunch time. Worked the area for around an hour birds disappeared as quick as they appeared. Then out of nowhere free jumpers, head straight for them and shoty goes off. 35 minutes later we have a 1.5m yft under the boat doing circle work for 10 minutes trying to gain that last 10m then snap, crimp pulls on the leader. Don's crimp, Don's fish and Don not very happy. Set the lures again about an hour later big run on the shoty again this time after 15 minutes pulled the hooks 30m from the boat. Good day hooked a couple of fish, if you don't laugh you will cry. We were in 151.27 34.34. 53km east of Kembla. Long liners setting down there as well. They are out there if you are in the right place at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me no about the marlin and kingies is it to early for the blue swimmers mate. Brian No problem. My boats in being serviced now for the upcoming season, so keen for a tandem fishing trip if you are. Might even have a spare spot. The blue swimmers are just starting I think, gauging by the amount of pots people are putting out! I will pm you my number if you want to call for any info! Cheers scratchie!!!
