Have done my first couple of soft plastics trips in close the last two weeks. First trip was good with only two guys aboard and getting 6 snapper, 4 keepers at 66,64,62 and a 43. Next trip was quieter with only the one keeper and two undersize. After that though we were surrounded by tuna and it was my best session in years. A hookup every cast. Lost a longtail at the boat on 10lb and dropped a couple of others mid fight but the only ones landed were mack tunas of two size classes. Out wide there has been heaps of parrot but have had a few jigs and surprisingly turned up 5 rusty jobfish and been smoked by others in two trips. Ajs have only been small so far.
Here is a video from this time last year. Been belting a few out with the new computer and editing program.
Pelagics. Landed three good longies this year in the low teens slow trolling livies for spanish. Also the first broad bar mackerel I have been associated with. Was around 10kg as well. Had some ok sessions on the Spanish but not as good as last year.
Few random reefies and seriolas.

Also did one sneaky trip up level with DI Pt out of Mooloolaba. One just legal 57cm red, 11 rosy jobfish, some tuskies and some ripper hussar not much smaller than the red.
Love your work Smithy there are some good fish there and plenty of variety well done.
