Well after not being out on the water for 2 months I was absolutely busting my gut to get out wide. Getting an extremely late start at 2:30 pm on Saturday we were going to head out to the banks but decided at the last minute to save fuel and stay in a little closer.
Turned the boat SE and headed towards cal wide. Saw a heap of long tails busting up but everything we threw at them didn’t seem to tempt them at all. Set sail again in glorious conditions.
Met Rhys on the way out on the Flamin Riptide. Was good to finally talk to you in person. (Nice boat!!!).
Didn’t do so well over Cal wide. We wasted a lot of time over there for little results. Anyway it was just glorious to be out on the water. The call was made just before sunset to go back in a little closer to one of our other marks and give it a shot.
We anchored up and pretty much straight away the coralies started to hit the deck. Not real big ones but they were nice eating size. We got smoked several times by heaps of big stuff. Not sure what they were. Dad got 2 nice reds but unfortunately they were about 53 cm…..(bummer)
Conditions were so good I felt like staying out there all night but had plans to go see reefmasters red talk on Sunday morning so had to head home. Sat on 4 grand all the way back in. Magic….
