samjames95 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Finally some nice offshore conditions, had me and dad heading out this morning off botany. We fished the reefs between 50-80m. Managed a decent sized reddie around 40cm, a few nice sand flatties 42-50cm, a decent blue mowie 44cm, a bonnie 43cm and mako shark around 14kg and about 1.2m. The mako fought like crazy right to the boat, breaching the water many times, definitely stoked to bring this one home. Great morning to get out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) A good feed there, and not much swell to bump the boat around - will be different tomorrow with the wind picking up. Edited March 29, 2017 by Yowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, the bump in the swell should make good surf conditions ????, but not suited fishing till the start of next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 That's the problem with the swell. Need it up for a body surf at Wanda, but not much swell for a fish outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely mate, though the outside temperatures dropping about 5 degrees for the next week, nearly time to pull the steamer out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
