Finally had some good weather on my days off, on Thursday, so I took my brother in law John and mate Luke down the down the GC with the aim of putting in some big hours on the troll looking for a spanish. No spanish but found a large school of spots that kept us entertained for a good session.
We ended up with some fat spotties and a few mack tuna for bait in a session that saw us loose more than we caught due to bitesoffs on the slugs and missed hook ups on the pillies. We lost 6 slugs before going to short wire which slowed things down a bit but still had us entertained with them following the slugs all the way to the boat in 4s and 5s.
We slow trolled a wolfie, a pillie and a lure while trying to find the school again at various times and caught 2 noahs around the 2.5m mark, one in the morn and one in the arvo. I called them for large spanish after the first run as they were at warp speed and on the surface but after getting close to the boat they went down and started the customary headshakes. When we first found the school we saw one partially leave the water and spin, not real clear shots but can anyone ID it, whaler, bull?
Cheers Ben
