Went for a run out to Oyster Reef today to test out my new Hydraulic steering. It's just as good as everyone says - much better than the old cable setup.
Anyway, trolled around for a bit and hooked up this massive beakie. About as close to a marlin as I'll ever get.
Had a bit of a fish at some old spots but the trout weren't really biting. We got three trout, but they were all lightweights around the 45cm mark that looked like they hadn't eaten in a while.
Plenty of Mac tuna busting up between Oyster and Vlassof (which seemed unusual) and these guys were real hungry. I got three tuna in four casts.
Tried my usual casting lures in the shallows but all the reefies seemed to be shut down. Got one little wrasse and very little else.
Only the one photo today, cause everything else was pretty standard fare.
cheers,
steve
