At last some luck in the Bay

[tropicrows]

Well at last, I get to post a report on some success in the Bay. Invited the new girl friend “Alli”out for a fish and to do a bit of cruising. After dropping her son off at school etc etc it was 9.45 before we hit the water at Raby Bay.
Headed out NW of peel and came across a school of dolphins, they were jumping and mucking around the boat so we took a few photos, I spotted birds feed to the west of our position, we head over and first cast was into a long tail. I was not making a lot of progress so I got the Alli to put boat in gear so I could get some line back, all was going well until I said “just go a bit faster”, well the next thing, I was nearly over the back and the fish was gone.
Didn’t matter as the fish were feeding well, and it was not long before we had 1 mac tuna and a 5kg long tail on board thanks to a great net work by Alli. I hooked into another long tail and handed her the rod, she was going well until she gave the fish a bit of slack line and then it was all over. We then moved to Harry Atkinson reef of a bit of fun with all the under size squire. Took some more photos of the resident dolphins. There was plenty of live bait so Alli got stuck into them while I stuck a floater out the back and one on the bottom. After a couple of hits & misses on the bottom I hooked into something but ended up getting bricked on the reef. Then the float went off and just a quickly it stopped I wound it in to find the 30 kg trace had been bitten cleanly through.
By this time it was 2 pm and time to head for home, the weather was perfect and there were very few boat out to my surprise, I might have seen 12 odd all day. It turned out to be a great day on the water and fun was had by all.
Cant post any photos just yet, Alli’s PC is on the blink and I forget to download them on mine before she left , as soon as I can hold of them I will put them up.

Sounds like a top day out. I was told at the ramp on Sunday that the LT's were working north of peel. Alli must be your good luck charm

Dammit Bruce, I found it that hard to concentrate after you rang me (he rang and bragged from the water). Ruined my day!!!

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks for your report Bruce. No one likes going over the back in their own boat....I hope you held your tongue ;-)

Cheers,
Wags

No problems Wags, we both had a good laugh but it could have been a lot worse. Hows the back going.
