Tdogz Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hey raiders sorry for the late report but been super busy Uncle recently purchased and new boat and rings me saying he’s keen to hit the fads I’ve never been more then 2kms offshore so to say i was stoked would be a understatement so $200 of skirts and and tackle later.... 5: 30 am start port kembla boat ramp Boat in water and a 2 min drive away from the boat ramp we arrive at bait grounds , within 30 mins and first light we had 25+ yakkas Headed out to the five islands and trolled them around within a hour half we only had 3 undersize kings biggest going 63 so we decided was time to hit the fads straight out the the fads were we are met with say 30+ boats sitting well off the bouy like 800m , so with only 1 boat doing drifts past the bouy we settled with that, livies down ready to go so I started top water sticking baiting nothing for 15mins then out the Connor of my eye I see a school swim past the boat some of decent size some tiny my rod goes off and after a little fight I had my first mahi mahi (56cm pictured)in the boat what beautiful fish! The colours are amazing the fight not so bad ethier after this they kept comming in biggest going 65cm ,10+ fish boated 3 keepies , we decided we would head in for lunch on the way home we slow trolled a Yakka back past the island as and picked up a fat 68cm king back at the boat ramp by 11 mahi shashmi is amazing! Better then kingfish in my opinion cheers tdogz Tight lines 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farvos Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It looks great. Be careful eating mahi raw. They contain alot of toxins etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farvos Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Yea I read it somewhere. I was about to sashimi one and found it online. But the internet is filled with a lot of rubbish to so they are probably fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBM Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 They're extremely fast growing and don't bottom-feed, so I doubt there's much to that. Maybe ciguatera in the tropics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
