Ah Splinter size Wahoo. That is what I would expect for this time of years so those big ones out at Hutchies are a good surprise. Imagine how big they are going to be come April/May if they get on a good paddock of Slimeys and Jelly Bean Mack Tuna.

We crossed the bar and headed for the group while trolling hex heads

Greg did you have a troll over the sevens? What was the temp like? Smithy you got me wishing summer away already and I haven't got my first 'Brisbane'summer spanish yet.

[bazzaman]

Good fish and looks like a good season ahead for you guys down there!

Thanks for the comments guys

Dave we surprised ourselves by still going out in the crappy conditions

CJ- Like you say all the signs are there -bait and lots of birds working but not alot of big feeders around. It looks like a waiting game for the bigger fish to move in and hear the reels scream.

Mad-Fisherman- I will send you a PM

Chemmy- The hex heads were medium size and only used when we were travelling to the desired spot at a fast speed. We did have a smaller one out while trolling 4 hard bodys when the 4 way hook up occured and the hex head didn't get hit but the speed may have been too slow for that lure to work on the hoo

mjc85- Wahoo are not bad if bleed and put on ice straight away. Some say they taste better then Mackerel and some say they don't. All i know is that it don't even come close to Red Emporer.

Smithy- I been surprised of the big wahoo been taken of late myself but they stayed clear from us although we did get a big run which sounded like a solid hoo. We settled for the smaller hoo considering how dead it was.


Doug- Did we troll over the sevens? - well i think we did about 50km of trolling just on the sevens itself without a touch- It had alot of bait on those pinnacles but we didn't turn a reel there. Very strange as i thought if hoo are going to be around then that would the spot we would find them. Water temp was 24.5 degree's


Shane- I took the tuna off not long after hook up and kept it alive and if i got another i would have rig them up and trolled them. Didn't see no real point in trolling one bait around. Hex head colours were light pink/ light purple and also dark pink/ dark purple.

Paul- The conditions were bloody terrible and we didn't even have rain coats and with the wind blowing hard we couldn't get out of the rain. I think i was shivering for about an hour or so but i dryed out later. ( The pics looked good and it does'nt even look rough) Atleast when we hooked up it stopped raining so we couldn't complain to much.

Roota- No spews for Brook this trip and even the last 4 or 5 trips he hasn't had a spew. He got off the Kwells and now takes Travel calm. (spelling) He is now not the spew master. That boat has had more double, triple, quaddroople and what ever 5 way hook up means then you could poke a stick at.

Regards Greg

Col- i hope the weather is not to crappy for a trip and the boys get amoung them speedsters. Brook smile- you gotta be kidding.

Regards Greg
