Bit of a late report.
Snuck out last Sunday despite the predicted winds.
Headed off from Boyne about 4.30AM into pretty messy conditions and decided to sit on the outside of Facing for a bit of protection.
After about 1/2 hour sitting and catching nothing I was packing up to move when I heard this splashing close to the boat. Looked up to see the water boiling about 10m from the boat so I threw out a lure and set off.
Almost immediately the drag was screaming. After a short fight it threw the hook just as it got to the boat :(
Back in with the lure and about two minutes later I hooked up with this bugger that gave me a bit of a run.
Things quietened down after that, so seeing that the tide had started to go out and was no longer against the wind I decided to head out to seal rocks for a quick look.
Got a grassy and a parrot in quick time before the wind started to make it too messy.
cheers,
Owen
