Wahoo run the gauntlet with heavy losses.

[mackmauler]

Got the offer of a trip off moreton with Sportsfish 5 ; Greg and Phil T, we blasted out to flinders to finish off the wahoo that have been biting all wk, there were boats everywhere fillet and release was the order of the day, wahoo were slamming lures like there was no tomorrow and rightly so, there was more wahoo flying into the air on a gaff pole that ive ever seen, everywhere one looked a boat was hard astern ;D

The charters led the way with the body count the sheer numbers of lines out helped there tally, we had 3 lines out and were kept busy, avoiding other boats and winding in fish, we ended up icing down 6 wahoo in the 8-12kg range, all were spritely fighters and we had some good sport. #Phil t busted his cherry with a couple and a picture of the happy couple will follow, we ran into some fellow ausfishes with accounts of top fishing as well, all in all one of the better days and a great time of yr, thanks to Greg for a top ride.

Very nice :(. It was obvious while sitting at Peel this morning that reports such as this would be attached to any boat out there this morning :'(. I didn't think it would take you long to get amonst them Rob ;).
Cheers, Jay

did you have a chop off?? we trolled past a blue pillie floating on the surface just wide of all the boats. we got a lod of vermin, bought home 3 mahi mahi about 7-8kg and one hoo.

[philip_thomson]

not a single bite off jeff. and not even much in the way of by-catch.

one mack tuna hooked in the tail. luckily it dropped off at the side of the boat. managed 1 yellowfin which will be eaten ASAP

Good fishing.

Top report Rob. Nice pickies too.
