    Awesome nice grouping of trout and horse spano. How was the swell out where youse were.
    And what was the fish of the trip
    JT
    VHF CHANNEL 21
    CALL SIGN : JT OR SC552(social club member)

    There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

    I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges

    Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)

    Basically no swell had one morning where it got a bit rough though but the rest of the week was perfect even the cruise out and back was smooth.

    Re: swains reef

    I am going in July on the Grayscout and it cannot come quick enough. What part of Swains did you fish I have heard stories that the Southern end was damaged earlier this year did you notice this?
    Do you stay in one spot or travel around?
    Did you have more success in deeper water due to the damage done to the shallower reefs?
