Larkin Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Gday raiders, spent Good Friday taking a few of the boys from work out for a fish on the ski. Â They were fishing off the wharf and not having much luck, so devoted the day in getting them onto a few pelagics. Â Thought trolling would be the easiest as they could also enjoy a scenic cruise around the cliffs south of jibbon. Â Ended up doing 4 trips outside today - which was very tiring but they loved it! They caught their first Bonitos and one caught his first kingy - just a rat, but he was happy. saw a couple of busy ups on the surface and hooked up on both occasions - casting a halco bibbed lure in gold. tally was 8 bonitos, 1 watsons bonito, 1 x rat king. lots of loose weed strands floating around which was a pain getting out of the lures 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Bonnies provide good sport, and can be used for bait or the table. Weed is a problem for lures, and there is a lot floating about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 @Larkin I’m still thinking about the tuna crudo/sashimi I enjoyed last weekend! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might slice some up and give it a try with some soy sauce and wasabi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read about it and apparently chefs sear it slightly before serving. Apparently it tempers the strong flavour. I can't recall if they did that when I had it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue - had to keep bringing in the trolling lines to clear the strands of weed. Should of changed from hard bodies to skirts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
