Day out on Amego

[MitchCalcutt]

Went out on Amego today thanks to Kev Gold coast fishing tackle having to work. Great start to the day with a Blue hitting the shotgun at 7.10am. Unfortunately his bill got between him and the hook so a hook up didn’t follow. Not long after came the first of many yummy by catch’s, which included a 25kg dolly and a wa hoo that would have pushed the scales to 20kg. In between the by catch somewhere came a Blue that ate the lure properly and shortly was tagged in particularly good condition. Only have pics of the dolly, the rest of the time I was kind of busy.

This fish hit the lure so fast the hook had to be removed from it's stomic, no kidding.

25kg Dollie, 20+wahoo, whoa, now that's what I'd call a real by-catch!
Great colours in that first pic!

AMIGO is a private vessel (35 Bertram)

The Hoo was caught on the same lure pictured, (Short Simmo) It also had the most activity on the day at shot gun, but a "Marlin Industries" lure got the Blue.

I only got the first small dolly but I was happy wrestling with the rest.
