After a successful outing last week with some mates, and a half decent forecast the call went out early for another run on Sunday.
We chose the Tweed to try an avoid the crowds, and with the tides looking manageable, we were greeted with a flat bar at daybreak.
Trolled from 40m to 220m and picked up 2 blacks, approx 200lb and 350lb. Both fish were hooked in about 160m.
Bloke on the 350lb version keeps high sticking the rod and after being warned it would break, it goes crack, so fought the last 30 mins on 2/3's of a rod!
Cheers
Jim
