Ohhh I look outside and I see no movement in the trees - which tends to infer to me that Rob and Mick are enjoying sterling weather/conditions and having a BLOODY GREAT TIME ON THE WATER WHILE I HAVE TO DO AN EXAM!!!

Hi Guy's,

I was one of the lucky ones to get out for a couple of hrs in the bay this morning.
Hit the 4 beacons for a bit of slug tossing before work.

My mate Andy was landing a few small Tunas, although every now and then one would get destroyed on the way in ???
Last cast before heading for home, one more hook up to a 'Watson's Bonito' all of a sudden turns into a run away freight train !!
Stuffed if I know how we stayed hooked, only using a 25 gram 'Mack Mauler' (for the Tuna).
Any how, chased this monster to the North for about 5k's or more before it ran back under the boat and cut itself free on the prop, bastard. We stayed connected for 50 Min on 6 kg and no leader. The fish stayed high in the water and was a long brown shape of about 6 foot long, are you thinking what I'm thinking, monster COBE !!!!!!

Lost the trophy fish but still a memorable experience ;D ;D

Now I'm office bound for the rest of the week for being late into work today. I'm with you lads now :( :( :'(

Craigie.

[jeffo]

wasnt a noah craigie? ;D :-X

[craigie]

G'day Jeffo,

Not a shark this time ;), The mate sighted the fish but didn't call it for a Noah.
The earlier terrorism of our hooked Tuna revealed no teeth marks or slashes, just massive head injuries with eyes popping out. We wound in a head that was mashed off at the gills :o :o.

Cheers Craig.

[sharkbait]

any schoolies at the beacons craigie?

[craigie]

Sharkbait,

I saw no surface activity, but did get a couple of slugs bitten off ???
Only fished 2 beacons before all the commotion broke out, didn't see any Schoolies.
Was only fishing for an hour (7.30 till 8.30) although we only worked the beacons for 10 - 15 min.
Was back at the ramp by 9.15 am with a glassing out bay trailing behind me :'(.

Cheers
Craigie.

[sharkbait]

ok. you wouldnt have seen them on the surface, maybe the explanation for the bite offs though. would have been a nice run back, looked good from here
kris.

[mackmauler]

the sea was up early, plenty of current into the wind.. the fishing was good though, lots of bait out wide and the pelagics turned it on.

[mackmauler]

[jeffo]
