Hi guys,
been a while since i was out last so a mate and I took advantage of the weather and went for a close offshore fish in his tinny.
We found a nice little patch of reef and set about jigging some new lures, first up was a nice surprise and a decent sized chinaman fish.
Straight after that one I hooked into a maori just shy of legal and a few legal snapper :'( esky was feeling the pain lol.
Tristan set about getting some sweetlip for the esky and also kept catching these random little sharks, anywhere from bouncing on the bottom to retrieving at high speed and getting hit mid water. the big one got foul hooked in the bum and went really really hard
The highlight of the day was tristans PB longtail, there were a fair few schools of mac tuna working and we were lucky enough to be waiting for one to feed into our direction when a small pack of longtails came up close to the boat, one throw in there and a few seconds later he was on. the fish went about 105cm and he was/is stoked
Weather was perfect out there couldn't really have asked for better conditions
cheers for reading
Dan
