GC WAHOOOO

[JB]

Hit the deeper waters off the goldy yesterday for some trolling with DC in his boat. First hit was a dollie on the shotgun, only a baby thou .. saw 7-8 of his mates hanging around as we brang him to the boat, they were only small buggers too. Threw him back to fight another day , and continued on. Very quiet for a long time, then the shotgun gets hit again, this time pulls some drag and stops, then another hit on it .. pulls some good drag and a beakie appears out of the water only to shake the hooks on us > . DC was the only lucky one to see the fish launch itself , maybe next time we can get the bugger to stick . Kept trolling, plenty of birds and small bait on the surface but no action. Finally towards the end of our day the shotgun goes off once again , and we are into something reasonable. A few calls of tuna ( i thought maybe yellofin) , then some vision under the boat.. hrm too long to be tuna! , WAHOO is the call and the gaffs out ready to boat our dinner . Fish gaffed and 8-10kg of wahoo is boated, a great team effort all round. Unsure of weight, forgot to weigh it doh!

A long day on the water, but a good result in the end, maybe next time we can get that beaky to stick! (And i can get a look the bugger ) .

Thanks for the trip DC, and thanks to my mate cameron for doing a ripper job clearing the rods and helping out. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

Hey JB/ DC

Did ya loose any lures this time

I suppose the one the HOO took is second hand now hey

Garry

[JB]

No mate, no lost lures. And the lure the hoo hit doesnt even have a scratch

[Burley_Boy]

You guys are a ripper team.
Does the deeper water mean the 36's or the 50's or ?
Did you use wire on your lure?

I trolled in close this morning without a touch.
cheers BB

Yeh, it was a great day in the end, with each fish choosing the lure running shotgun (my rod), my new TLD20 I scored for Christmas got a good workout
Thanks Matt_g, the Meridian you sent in the mail claimed me my first Mahi - undersize by 1cm, but still my first. Glenn (Springwood Marine), your rigging held up a treat
It was great to see the first Wahoo for my boat finally pulled over the gunnel. Both the 'hoo and the black went for a lumo coloured lure.
BB, the lure that took the hoo is rigged with a 2 hook shackle rig, mono leader. We trolled at depths between 55m-80m.

Great stuff JB & DC. Love the colours on the hoo. They look great when they are lit up like that. Shame the dollie was under sized. The one we took yesterday also fell to a Meridian.

Cheers,

G/ day Jas/Dane top effort on the Whoo, always nice to break the ice with another species and like i said on your last report that your beacky is just around the corner, well done again boys !

CHEERS RAY

[Big_Ren]

Awesome guys. That hoo was going nowhere by the look of that gaff shot. Pity about not getting the hooks to stick with the beakie. Next time.

Congrats again on a great effort.

Cheers
