[mackmauler]

Fished on a mates new boat today, a 7m stinger quiet simply a fantastic fishing boat, the purpose being to run it in and pull some dinner over the side which we did, got my first spaniard of the season which put on a great show, dropped 1 bill and got a dolfin and yellowfin, plenty of boats out enjoying the top weather.

Can't decipher all that hardware at the pointy bit of your Spaniard. #Above his head looks like a slug with a couple of ball sinkers above it. #His mouth looks like he's swallowed the handle of the gaff and couldn't quite get the business bit down his gullet.??

Care to put an old bloke out of his misery and tell me what it all means?

Tony

Hi Machmauler did you get the spaniard and the dollie on live or dead bait, drift, slow troll or anchored?

Kind regards Trevor

Sounds like a good day out and a top boat ;) , what sort of HP does he run on that ?

Jas

[mackmauler]

Trevor they were caught on a pakula lure trolling.

It runs a 70 4 stroke suzi Jas, inside the console is a clear fuel tank with measurements on it so you can watch the fuel burn all day, 7m boat on a 100km plus run trolling for hrs and using 50L or so of juice!! ill send you some pics.
