    Hutchies Sunday Afternoon

    After reading the other posts about sunday pm it seems we were not the only ones enjoying the conditions.
    Headed out from Scarborough mid afternoon, picked up a few livies on the way to Hutchies. Anchored up about 4pm and started pulling up what seemed like dozens of 34 cm pearlies. started to berley and had high and low livies plus a floating pilly.
    Ended up with a fat cod from the bottom livie and a couple of maori cod ,some legal pearlies on plastic , and some tuskies.
    The higher livie seemed to be going nowhere so I changed it for a flesh strip with a squid chaser, still no luck but just as we were packing up, a nice spangly decided to stop by for dinner. He went 65cm and just under 4kg . PB.
    Back to Scarby at 60km . a beautiful afternoon

    PS just eating the spangly in a tempura batter as I write , roast potato. toasted turkish bread and salad . Mmm (Lifes Good!). did I mention the icy cold beer?

    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)

    Nice catch Brendan. Were you racing the sun to get back in as that must have been a quick fish otherwise.

    Did you have any whale activity around?

    Cheers

    Hi Chris,
    No mate we stayed till about 7.30, back on the trailer about 8.30
    Yes there were a few whales around but none too close to the boat, but always a bit of a concern when travelling east west at any speed.
    Full moon though and easy to see , just went a little more carefully till closer to the cape.

    Yeah , I had the drag on the baitrunner up around 4 kg and it pulled away quite easily. I backed it off a bit closer to the boat as the leadr on my snood rigs is prett short and it still seemed to have a fair bit left in it. Poor No.1 son coppes a bit when his net shot ended up with the net attached to the leader but the fish out of the net.
    A quick grab of the leader took care of things .
