Left the ramp about 4.15 am and was suprised at the number of cars already in the carpark - thought we might have slept in too late. :o
Bay was almost glass and no bar to speak of. Headed wide to find some blue water - lots of dirty green in close. Water temp got up to 27 deg in places. Hooked a decent wahoo early, followed by a dirty old mac tuna. Lots of talk on the radio from the boys further north - sounded like the bottom bashers were doing OK, but the surface guys were struggling. Started to think it would be a long day.
Hayden grabbed the next reel to scream and 10mins later crosses off another species from his "Must Catch" list. Seems there are quite a few Dollies round at the moment. Ended up with half a dozen for the day all released bar 1 - on the way back in we took 3 in 10 mins.
Also had a Black swim in and grab the long corner, pull some drag, drop it, fall back to the long rigger, pull some drag and then drop that as well. Couldn't temp him by working the lure and he sank from view escorted by a barrage of expletives. That's two in two weeks for us that just haven't seemed to hit the lures with any gusto. Nice to know they're out there but not sure what we have to do to get one to stick. :'( ;D
