Scent Blazer Lures Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Got out there yesterday with another Raider. High speed trolled at 15 knots to the 12 Mile for nothing. Put the whole spread out at the 12 Mile, water temp around 21.5. We got a couple of small Dollie hook-ups near the 12 Mile but dropped them, they looked really small anyway, but there were plenty jumping around.Trolled our way to Heatons from there, along the shelf we found a trap and got one 70cm Dollie around it, we saw others jumping around it but they all looked pretty small so we kept heading wide, plus we couldn’t find the trap again anyway . We got Stripy and Dollie hook-ups along the way out. Around 10NM from Heatons we landed a nice Bull in 21. Happy with that we started trolling back with just big lures out hoping for something big, but got nothing else.Seemed to get more fishy the wider we went, more birds, more current and more hook-ups out wider. Blue lure chain with pillies inside got every hook-up except for the Bull which was on a 12 inch purple lure with stripy and pillies inside. Our red and black lures with squid inside didn’t get hit once this time out, maybe the predator’s menu items are changing with the colder water.Lures:http://www.scentblazer.com/Products/tabid/292/ProdID/962/CatID/128/Purple_Frigate__Medium_Pusher_Head.aspx http://www.scentblazer.com/Products/tabid/292/ProdID/1254/CatID/196/Lure_Chain_Sardine__Bullet_Head.aspxGood luck to anyone heading out on the w/end.Peter Edited April 18, 2015 by Scent Blazer Lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no one Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Nice! Interesting to hear the pinks weren't working. Will have to check out the blues next time out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Blazer Lures Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Nice! Interesting to hear the pinks weren't working. Will have to check out the blues next time out! Maybe in the colder water they prefer more oily/fatty baits like pillies rather than squid. Next time I go out I will try an experiment, I will put pillies in the red and black lures and squid inside the blue lures and try to determine what the catalyst is for the bite, whether it's the bait type inside the lure or the color of lure that is getting them to strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wow Pete that Dollie was almost as wide as you, Yes your experiment i will love to hear the results, I in my opinion still think its the colour different days maybe flavour as well interesting.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's a nice fish, there was a good temp break around there yesterday. I would have headed that way but we would have coped a cross wind for the long ride back to Syd Heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Blazer Lures Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) would prefer the Mahi Mahi but presentation is 10/10 - how was it? stripy is actually really good sashimi and sushi, you just gotta make sure when you fillet it you cut out all of that deep red blood line down the middle I'm pretty sure if you were served stripy you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and yft or bft especially once you add soy and wasabi Mack tuna is not bad either Edited April 18, 2015 by Scent Blazer Lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no one Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Aww Pete I'm gonna disagree, mack tuna is only good for bait. Horrible bitter after taste in the big ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Blazer Lures Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Aww Pete I'm gonna disagree, mack tuna is only good for bait. Horrible bitter after taste in the big ones yeah no probs, only tired it once, we got a 3kg mack tuna on a charter up in QLD and they sushimied it up for the guests and crew, had it with a fresh ginger, soy and wasabi sauce, it tasted pretty good but I am guessing it wouldn't taste real great if you tried cooking it I maintain that stripie is really good for sushi or sashimi, I was reading somewhere that about one fifth of all sushi served around the world is stripie nowadays, plus they said they have much lower mercury levels than bft or yft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
