99FishingWorld Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Hello all I never do my reports here but I do browse often. Hit the FADs and the Mahi Mahi were out to play yesterday. Launched from Foreshore around 5:45 AM had livebait in the tank by 6:20 AM, loaded with about 40 slimies and yakkas. Lots of big baits too. I found it interesting how some one was catching livies off their boat while docked at the ramp lol anyways reached FADs by 6:50 AM and it started off slow but it got super hot around 7:30-10:30 AM to which the bite died off. We had run out of our live bait anyway but used butterflied baits towards the end which seemed to hook us up to the larger cows and bulls. Largest going 90cm Trolled for bonito around cape banks for a few of them If you;re interested in learning how to rig/find these you can check out @99fishingworld (YT/TT/IG).

Well split between three, and after sharing some fish with friends, I managed to vacuum seal the extras and should be good in the fridge for 1-2 weeks! Believe it or not fish can be vaccum sealed in the fridge for weeks and still have no smell lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Very well done Tarik, great result. I have never fished for Mahi Mahi but I had some for dinner recently (courtesy of Hoods) and it was fantastic to eat. Looks like your freezer is going to be well stocked for some time. Hope you consider putting more of your posts on here for us all to enjoy. Cheers, bn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't go out for two weeks because of the rubbish conditions but Monday Morning was bliss, no wind at all, but a strong current pushing us atleast 2 knots 1 hour ago, bessell1955 said: Looks to have be a very serious fishing trip, well done.
