got the the banks bout 7.30 late for leaving the ramp at 5 am.just seemed to pound the whole way got there got ten extra large parrets, and a couple dolphin fish bout 7 kg my first 2 ever i was stoked they are everywhere( but 2 was more than my fair share. then changed spots got 5 perlys 3 were 55cm i was stoked as i,ve just started fishing bout 3 mths ago. on the way back in the wind had dropped and had made for a nice run in when we came across a big bait ball with sharks smashing the bait i estemate them at about 3m and there were heaps of macs and what looked like heaps of cobia only bout 50cm though it was a amazing thing to have seen i have photos but i,m not real good on the computer let alone posting a few pics( dam it) :-? ;D

the last couple times there been there, yhey just swim round the boat. the first time the followed up the berly trail and i was,nt ready through my bait down i just reeled up and he grabbed it and snap.this time i was ready floater out the back 8 foot live fibre and baitrunner.could,nt believe the second one he grabbed it and he was out the water straight away.as for those sharks that was amazing,the amount of fish joining in was crazy aswell. the sharks went out of sight after about 2-3 min did,nt like the boat i,d say...... ::)

How did you catch the mahi mahi? Were you at anchor with high speed retrieve of silver slugs, pillies/livies floated, or were you trolling skirts?
