t"ville cape cleveland

[ronnien]

took my young falla for a trip over to the cape this arvo & what a trip it turned out to be!!!
heading over "nice" it was glassed out. once we reached the cape the trolling lines went straight in & we continued this for about a hour. i was using the tld 20, 50lb braid matched onto a 20-40lb tuna power the lure was a x-rap deep diver. luke was using a spheros 8000, 30lb braid on a 8-10kg uglystick.
nothing no macks around at all & my brother was out there trolling big wolfies as well but he went home empty handed. so stuff this it"s time for a change we swaped over to the metal slugs mine a 40gm gillie, with the td 4000 spooled with 20lb braid on the dropshot. luke"s a 40gm spanard on a beastmaster rod & i have forgot what the reel is anyways it"s spooled with 30lb braid.

came up onto the mark & both slugs went to the bottom, cranked the hell out of them back to the top without a hit, back down & about half way up smack i am on! the first run has alot of speed but after seeing around 10kg of spanard he has a big head shake & out flys the slug. 3rd drift over the mark bang on again this time it turned out to be around 10kg golden trev, 4th time over bang yet again different fight this 1 & i was very happy to see a 3kg trout laying beside the boat.

luke getting a little s^&**y by now & wanted to come & shark my spot, wind faster i told him & on the next drop he gets wacked. now he had this 6-7kg golden trev swimming about 10ft under the boat within 10mins, thats when this huge dark shadow started following it. it turned out to be 1 very large groper so he asked me to take over so he would not loose it, it"s his fish cause he did all the hard yards.
same as the queenie he got on his next & last drop which i reckon was around the 10kg mark, fought it till we see color & after 10-15mins of some fast runs his arms could not take any more. time was getting on so it was even a smoother trip home.

low was .47 & the high was 3.44mtrs... big run comming around the corner at the cape so where was the macks???

Well done Ron, looks like you both had a good day out on the water. The winds have been down lately so makes it easy to get further out.
