Dangas Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Went out sat and caught a whole heap of fat stripeys. There was a good temp break around the peak from 23-23.6c Could've kept catching them all day. But decided to have a poke around browns and came up empty. Browns was lifeless with not much coming up on the sounder. Even the charter guy was finding hard going. Lost a few baits but no fish. Was hoping the gemmies would be around early. Trolled around for a bit for zero then decided to head back as the wind was starting to pick up. Left around 2pm and caught some more stripeys on the way back in just south of the botany fad. We did hear about some blues being lost around heatons but decided it was too far and too late in the day. The tuna were mainly hitting the feather lures, and some even got caught at 12-15kn !! We also hit the botany wide fad and it seems all the dollies from the previous week had all gone. There were some spearos working the fad which may have scared them off but we tried throwing everything at the fad, pillies, live yakkas, etc. with no luck.
