Offshore Brunswick Heads

[Lancair]

Hey all, today was my new boats maiden offshore fishing trip, I know I ve had it a few months now but the gods have conspired thus far preventing an earlier trip.
Crossed Brunswicj bar at 5.40am, just enought light to see the waves. Hit up a mark Id been given and 4 or 5 drifts later we had 16 Snapper and 1 pearl perch on board. The bite went off here so went headed for Windarra Bank, the current was a howling 3-4kts out there so trolling was on the cards. Shortly a Wahoo, about 1.2m came aboard. We trolled for another hour or so and called it a day.

Lets hope this trend continues for my boat.

Thats a great way to blood it

Thanks guys, new rig is a Tournament 1800, from tournament pleasure boats. Etec 115 on the back and as usual a heap of extras everywhere else on the boat.

It got a good drenching of blood from the Hoo thats for sure.

Forgot to mention that whilst on our way to Windarra Bank, my crew spotted something ahead in the water, under water, as we got closer it was a White Pointer, about 4-5 metres long, he buggered off real quick just after we made what he was. :o
