Nice one mate, saw some of those tuna around the western side of peel today too, looks like you did better on the snapps at peel than us.

[fleety77]

[slyman]

We got there around 830 to the western cardinal, then moved up to the hanlon light, and by the tide change we'd moved to Myora. Brothers boat, 4.1 blue poly.

[fleety77]

[slyman]

Could've been us, did a trip monday after harries and we were there last week too but I cant remember what day, no stress mate.

[fleety77]

[slyman]

No worries mate, if theres only one bloke in the boat it'll be my brother, I usually tag along if I have the day off and some spare time up my sleeve, and yes I hope the esky will be full too.
