batfishing Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Long day today, left home at 0430 to meet Gerry over at Newport, we were loaded up and out of the Marina by 0630, quick stop on the way to pick John up off his boat. Which made a total,of 4 of us on board. Gerry, Karl, John and myself And then out wits a fairly stiff breeze blowing, which dropped by the time we were 2/3 to Browns. We dropped the lures in at Browns and started the troll. We quickly had a strike, and dropped an albie on the deck. We only just got the lines back in and had a solid 3way. Unfortunately dropped 2 but had one around 40kg on the deck. Lines back in and a strike before we had them all set, a solid fish of around 20-25kg. So by 1035 we had an albacore and 2 YFT's on the deck. We actually joked about calling it quits, but realistically we wanted at least one solid fish to put Karl on, and Gerry wanted a Bluefin, so on we pushed. What happened after 1130, were just not sure, but it shut down, there was no birds, no whales, no free jumpers. At 2.30 we had a 4 way hit with Albies, which got the blood pumping again. We pushed on to 3 and then decided to call it quits on a great day. Good company, great water, and fish. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batfishing Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yes Jeff, We had to tell Gerry to get 'reel' the acting he was doing with the outfit! He took John along to drive the boat, so he could fish, which would have been fine if he hadn't decided to send John down to clean my fish, and he took over the helm..........we had a good bite to that point!! Yeah, I'll rub it in Gerry...someone has to! And will you get those engine revs right! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
