I told you work was overrated!
That is the first time i have driven a twin screw boat to backdown on a fish and I would have to say that is almost better then actually being on the rod.I loved it and had a great time. Can't wait to do it again, maybe tomorrow

Top notch report Smithy and hearty congratulations to Dan, Troy and Brooksy. Really great pics too. Hope you get into 'em very soon Brett.
Cheers

Well done fellas
It looks like there's a few more fish down there at the moment. We went out yesterday with a few other boats from mooloolaba, and only half the boats tagged fish. The bribie tourny was also on, and there was only 9 tags for the day. Everyone caught plenty of bycatch, mainly wahoo and dolphinfish. We saw 2 blacks, one threw the hooks straight up and the other didn't even strike.

Brooksy and Crew (and other Ymer connections & owners,

Was just a matter of time breaking the "Duck", now there will be no stopping you !!
Hang in there Dan, Your getting very close to adding Billfish to your list of captures, getting plenty of practise and experience along the way
Bring on the next Tournament eh !

Craigie.
Congratulations.
Well done and it does sound like a top day.
Nice work guys. Always nice to get the monkey of the back.
Look forward to seeing the picks of the Blues this season.

2-2-2 on Fair Game Friday. Mahi Mahi and 40kg Black to me both on 8kg. 15-20knots of SE in the morning but buttoned off the 10-12 for the rest of the day. Pulled the pin at 12.00.
About 5-3-1 today on Reel Crazy. One might have been a Black, one definately wasn't and we got a Striped Tuna. We just trolled in the conditions. Fair Game tagged a Black and kept a 17kg Wahoo. Leigh should have the details on that. 5 Star had tagged 3 and dropped a Striped Marlin and Watchdog had tagged 2. Not sure on the rest of the fleet. One other boat had tagged one and we lost contact with Buggy on Ymer. Hope he had some luck. We pulled the pin at 2.30. Weather sucked us in. Pretty calm the first couple of miles out, came up to 20 SE, buttoned off once we got to the grounds then built straight again to 20s with a bit of swell.
Update - 5* ended up 5 from 6.
Well done Brooksy and crew, good to see the new boat is working and catching them. I hear you might be down on lures though after Chris lost a few, but i also hear that you lost a few too, just make him take his own tackle next time. By the way Brett i'm ready to decki any time only a phone call away.
Cheers Dave
Smithy,
My luck continues. 8-6-0 on Saturday as we fished the boat back from the Goldy to Bribie. One run and one hook-up at Spot X for a drop and a line break on live bait.
Moved north and my favourtie Straddie grounds produced a big thick black before I could even set all the lines. Dad had the pleasure for about 1min as this fish went animal and eventually busted the main line. Continued in the same area for a couple of hours with numerous strikes and hook-ups but continued to lose fish at the boat through pulled hooks or broken line. One was a very very big Wahoo the others were unsighted. Some fish were 10-15 mins to get close to the boat only to magically drop the hooks somehow. I'm having the worst run of luck the world's ever seen.
Can't believe the bite that happened at spot X just after we left. But then again that's exactly how my luck is holding at the moment. Lucky I'm not superstitious

No mate its not your bad luck its the mantle family of Chris and Ray doing it to you. They are bad luck, you need to change your deckie and my hand is up
Cheers Dave
Dave, Chris would need an awfully large tackle box
Steve
Chris would be fine if only he didnt touch the rod
Well I never thought I would have to waste my first my first post on defending my honour but I guess..................when the first stone is thrown......

Sandman:get F@#KED !!!!!!!!!!
