Nice photo of Secho going solo!

Cheers

Damo

Pretty quiet day out there yesterday Damo, we got one YFT on the first tide change then nothing for the rest of the day.. there's small jellybeans jumping about out there around Browns but they're too interested in the sauries to take a lure - there's lots of birds showing where and when the fish are about to rise, but very hard to keep up with them.. they come up quickly then go back down deep just as fast... we trolled Sthn cans out to 2000, up to heatons, back to the nthn canyon, back to browns then trolled in - apart from the jellybeans at browns and lots of whales, we saw nothing else all day

Did hear an unconfirmed report on 21 that someone caught a small black marlin to the west of browns.

Cheers - Secho

yeah we saw you guys late in the arvo chasing the fin, we saw them jumping and chasing the sauries as well just west of browns, by the time you get near them they've moved a mile, at least you guys got one earlier. We were hoping for a fin, every time we hooked a stripy we were getting the gaff ready hoping it was a small fin, but we can't complain, we got a few dollies

We were out yesterday in beautiful conditions. Trolled from the shelf to browns then set cousre NE of browns.

when 10kms from browns picked up two albacore in quick succession. Trolled back to browns and started a

cube trail going for the next 4hrs. Hooked up to 3 good sized (100kg+) makos. Water temp at browns was around 19C.

We pulled up stumps at 2pm and started trolling in. About 6kms west of browns water temp got up to 20.8C

when we got a good strike and lightning run. We called it for a yft but dropped it after about 2 minutes.

That was it for the day.

good job on the albies and makos, bummer about the yft, next time :)
