Hit the water early today for a session towing looking for the elusive Mr. Hoo . There have been quite a few about following the big seas last week but were tapering off the last few days . The halco was hammered almost straight away but the tell tale thump thump of the tail said tuna . Mack tuna and big ones at that about 6 - 8 kilos . Bugga - try again same result . They were like fleas on a hound dog . Kept three for a mate with asian connections who love them . They wern't taking the skirts so changed both rods to skirts and headed east looking for roaming fish .
After getting to the 24's and the sea conditions great took a quick trip to the 36 's only to find the current raging and damn near unfishable . Ten minutes later the south wester that was forecast for this arvo arrives at 25 - 30 knots . Conditions went from good to very interesting in nothing flat while I headed for home into some now very big potholes - glad I was in the Yalta .
I detour on the way to catch up with fello fisho Ted in the Yalta sister ship who tells me on the radio he has got something he wants me to see . Caught on a two hook bottom rig on 1/3 of a cut pillie . Buy a lotto ticket cause your luck is hot today . Check it out - he's gonna have to suck a lemon to get the smile off his face . I asked him should I post the GPS marks - the reply could not be printed here .
