Even though Friday's forcast was for rain and possible storms in the arvo, we ducked out early.

Conditions got worse and worse the further we went with squalls constantly coming through. 1.5m swell with slop on top certainly makes for a long morning. Thank god for travacalm! I was the only one not feeling it. ;D

Hooked a hoo early out in the middle of nowhere. Rest of the morning was driving. Came back in closer and was begining to think my multiple hookup streak was over - two squealing TLDs soon had smiles all round. 2 more hoo, one of which really went hard with long burning runs and it sure cracked a mental at the boat.

3 for the day, and a couple of shabby looking hard bodies. I need a sponsor!

Roughly 6-8kg. I had 2 wahoo virgins on board so I was the designated driver / deckie for the day. I didn't get any pics on my gear, but they sure did take some on theirs!

Was too chicken to drop my Pakulas over the side so we used Rapalas, Halcos and Hex Heads.
