Hutchies

[Fish_gutz]

Went for a run out to Hutchies monday morning the bay was a good run and got a few livies around the beacons near bulwer and once around the corner was greeted with sloppy conditions to the point we decided on a troll the last five k`s so we had a bit more comfortable ride in Bretto`s haines 19c .
Was still a few whales around near north point.
Did a few drifts and managed a few rat kingies a squire and a nice cobia.Had an inquisitive little hammer head following us around for a while so threw him a live pike and we all had a bit of fun with him till he bit through the wire trace.We could have put kingies in the boat all day they just kept following there mates up . headed home about half one as the south easter started to get up. Thanx again to Bretto for the top day out . The cobia fell to a pillie Cheers Andrew.

Andrew
Nice Cobe.
Sounds like a great day. I was on the beach with the kids last week at Bulwer and a mother and calf went past the drop off about 50M out. Great to see.
With a big pod of dolphins escorting her out.

Cheers Scott,
seems more and more whales are getting closer into the bay as we saw a few inside near cowan about this time last year.It`s good to see. Andrew.

Hay Andrew,
Did u try and plastics?

[Fish_gutz]

No sea pup the bloke I went out with is a keen bait fisho so pillies and livies where the bait for the day,but the week earlier he was floating down red hooks with no bait and getting little rat kings. I was thinking about throwing down a slick rig I had but didn`t bother.

[seapup]

Make sure you throw a plastic overboard on ya next trip Andrew!

[Fish_gutz]

got some nuke chooks and other varieties ready to go! I`ve got a week on a forty five footer out from cardwell in about three weeks so will be giving them a go up there also! Won`t be any snapps but the trout and lipper etc should have a go. Cheers Andrew.

[seapup]

Kingies don't seem to keep to long in the freezer. I put some in the freezer and went to have a feed about 4wks later and when it was cooked it wa all mushy and tasted like s*%t. Bloody nice fresh

Cheers Mad

was on the bottom Brent with an old pillie that had been frozen and defrosted a few times after taking some into work!The other lads had livies on? I think it was a four or five ball sinker with about a meter of 20kg leader onto a five / 0 octopus circle hook on 15 kg braid first fish just shredded my leader and this bloke wasn`t so lucky.It`s my first cobia so 1 more to scrarch of the list.
