Peter Nelson Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Got up early and quickly loaded up on smilies and yakkas, but as usually I attracted the wind. Rough trip out and back but managed to get a few. So frustrating trying to get baits past the mutton birds, couldn't even use any plastics. Had a quick flatty drift on the way in an managed 1 and a leather jacket. Something nailed it on the way up on the tail and the next undersize flatty that came up had something fairly big follow it up, couldn't tell what it was but had a blueish/silver look. Can't complain too much as it was better than being at work. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

61 crusher Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Great bag of dollies they must’ve been hungry, did you get them down deep to get past the mutton birds, a good trick with any birds caught up is to throw a rag over there heads and grab the head when there feet touch something solid they settle down, wonder what the bluey silver fish was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that got tangle mauled me trying to release it much to my mates pleasure. I'm not sure what hit the flatty but it put a good gash towards the tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 That's a great bag. Well worth the trip. I wouldn't be surprised if the silver/blue was a Lontail Tuna, I reckon there could be a few more reports come in this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Good work Pete! Mahi are the best fish for the BBQ. They have stuck around because of the good water out there! Never seen so many up here! And yes those mutton birds are a pain in the a$$. Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
