fisholb Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi all Left the marina around 6am and straight to botany bay fad. Trolled a couple of times for zero so decided to head to 12 mile. Half way the long rigger went off. After about 10mins we landed our first mahimahi for the season. Hi fives all round. It measured 105cm and 7kg. Biggest one we caught so far. Dinner sorted. Decided to trolled the area hoping for more but got no more takers so decided to head to the shelf. Trolled back and forth to 12 mile bb wide but we didnt get anymore hook ups. There were some stripe tuna around but the hook keeps coming off. Back at the marina around 4pm. Home around 7pm. Thanks for reading.

Mithras Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Nice fish. Can't wait till they show up in numbers Can I ask why the fish is bent and tied? Is that to stop them going crazy on the deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Blazer Lures Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 cheap vodka, tequila or any cheap alcohol, just pour a little on its gills it kills them in about 2 seconds, it sends them catatonic, its good if you want to take photos, the fish still has it colors and its dead plus I'm sure its nicer way for the fish to die, drunk!
