Sounds like a very enjoyable charter with a few very good fish to top it off. well done on the Jewie.

[bluefin59]

Well done mate, those size kings are fun but don't the jew slog it out hard . would have been a very satisfying catch. So how did the bait soakers fare? did they get much if the action? i reckon the plastics charters will soon become the popular thing to do with the odd baito' down the back corner ..
Cheers Roo.

Yeah roo these guys are pretty keen to go down that sort of path and yeah the bait soakers were down the back corner of the boat while 2 of us fished of the bow of the boat and 2 were down the back on the other side to the bait soakers . The plastics way out fished the bait i got 6 kings on tthe first 8-9 drifts the baits got a couple and the with the jew it was placcies only ...matt

hey great report mate,
some unreal fish there,

glad i saw this as I have a day on sea probe (chrissy present),
and wondered what it was like.
Im a plastics man in the estuaries but dont have any gear for offshore
do they provide the gear and gulps for plastics....?
or would you have to take your own...?
any tips appreciated.

Cheers,

Ben
