Went out yesterday through south passage with a couple of the boys for a day trip.
Ocean was not pleasant and the bar was a little bit to be desired but all and all not too bad of a day.
Ended up coming back with 10 pearlies, 2 squire, 5 parrot and a cod.
Average pearlie size was around 2 kg so they were really nice fish. Hit a patch and basically stayed on it for most of the morning.
Caught my personal best on a whole squid, weighing in at 4.5kg....was pretty damn happy with that! Sharky tried to take a bite out of him on the retrieve but luckily landed him with only a few teeth marks and not many scales...
Was hoping to head out and try for an amberjack but with the ocean as it was, rain looming and a couple of the crew feeling less then optimal we came home...all in all almost had 20 fish for the day so would call it a success...Though was kind of odd we didn't get any decent snapper..the same mark 2 weeks ago produced no pearlies and was full of snapper.
Fresh whole squid is the bait though, 14 of the fish in the boat were produced on it.
