had a fish outside from Caloundra Sunday morning. Great weather with light SWer turning SE and freshening late morning. Pulled an average doggie off NW2 on a slug on our way out and then tried and tried to get some livies. Plenty of bait around, just not biting. There was also heaps and heaps of tiny tuna on the surface. Might have been frigates or little macs. Didn't take any of the lures we tried. Anchored up on the 5 mile on a good show of bait, but nothing was biting on live baits or floaters. There were heaps and heaps of boats all morning on the Hamilton Patches and I guess they must have been getting some mackies or they would have left.
Water temp was 26.7 and nice blue colour. Did a troll out to the 12 mile and around, but no hits.
Haven't heard any reports from Daniel or Westie for a while. You guys been out?

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."
(Quotation from the rules of the Tuna Club Avalon, Santa Catalina, U.S.A.)
Apathy is the enemy

Hi Jeremy, Daniel has been on yard duty and wife sitting with the removal of a wisdon tooth "OUCH" scott and I ventured out on Fri 2nd after a jew but no luck ended up at the marina at La Balsa with some big baits out when I had the chance to test out my new Tss4 and Live Fibre with 50Lb braid screwed up with 4kg of drag for 35min and at no stage did I have the upper hand this think poss shark I think in the 60Lb range just pulled line when ever it wanted to and Scott just say on the side calling obsenaties with the gaff in his hand and a stubbie the fish won ....this time.
went to the M&G at H/Bay and did some damage to the back and L/H Knee and have been resting it but Iching to get out there and have some fun on the Macks soon.
