Headed for a quick run out to the bay yesterday to test my mates new fly gear out $$$ Also needed a fix as i turned down a trip on Friday :( .
Well as forcast the weather was sloppy but managable for the bay, we got to the beacons with no boat in site as well no fish ;D, Then we noticed a large school been worked over by birds in the distance... Once we worked the school for awhile ( all just small bonito) we moved to try and find some decent longtails, we soon came up trumps all exciting stuff..... Then from the corner of my eye a fish was heading skyward out of the small tuna we had been working earlier, Johno and i had to confirm with each other on what the fish was as we were both sure it was a Spano.
A little more mucking around chasing the never ending shy school of longtails when all of a sudden 30ft in front of the boat a 5ft + Span leaps straight out of the school with blood pooring down the sides of its chops with what appeared to be a small tuna.. times you :owish you had a camera what a site :).... Me being excited and not catching a decent size Spano for some time placed a few rapala's out with no luck.. We worked a rather large schoo of Spano.. this is something i havent seen in the bay but they were certainly spanish .
