Hi All,

Bit of a late post but here goes. Fished last Friday out near the wave rider bouy on board Honda900's boat, conditions were better than expected as was the fishing.

First few drops Honda is on to a few small pearlies and I boat a 2kg Skipjack tuna (which is mistaken for a Bonito and put in the bait esky:'( , wont happen again).

Then there is the call, "look it's a shark, no a cobia, no holy crap it's a massive Dolphin Fish hanging under the sea anchor", any way to cut the story short Honda hooked up first and dropped one, I hooked up while Honda hand fed a massive Dollie pilchards at the back of the boat, then I dropped mine, and in all the excitement I managed to get my SP back in the water quick enough to hook up again and it was on.;D

30 mins later, 20lb line, Bear S10 (best purchase I ever made), great driving and gaff shot by Honda, my PB Dollie is boated.

The rest of the day was fairly slow but we wern't to bothered;) I think the photo tells a better story.

good stuff Adam we have seen a few of the bulls around that area but could only ever hook the small ones, we could never get the biggins interested.

Thanks guys I'm still excited looking at the pic,

I think all eyes will be on the para anchor next outing! We fed 3 families with it and still have some left over.

dogsbody, no I got it on my egrell bear S10, but I have a blank at home which is next on the list for a heavier off shore SP rod.

Maybe I need to change my Avatar;D .

As of yesterday it is still not there, nor in a ~3nm radius of the published position as we looked pretty hard for it. EPA site has a note up that it is missing, I wonder if the note will disappear as soon as it is re-established?
cheers
