    Re: northern bay

    Rob I cant figure out how you are getting them so uniform in size, most of mine still have a slight 'coffin' shape. do you file them down once you bash em? I've found that the less you hit them the better, ie if you hammer them for too long they go soft and out of shape. mine are working but theres no doubt the perfect rectangle ones swim the best.

    Well done Rob
    Should have said Id come up that way when you told me you were heading up north.
    Anyway there were definately no action down the southern part of the bay, Just a glorious day out in the bay.
    Fished wello from 3am til about 7:30am and then headed across to harrys and finished there for a total catch of 4 sweetlip biggest 39cms and 2 mosses perch.
    A few sharks down at wello lots of fun.
    Couldnt believe how glassed out the bay was.

    Tight Lines

    yeah DC it was the lucky slug, around 6 are MIA, if you get 10 macks out of a slug your doing well, can always repaint it though the teeth marks make it a convincing choice for next time

    Kris, nup dont file em, will have a chat to you and sort it out.

    DC,

    I was keeping my eye's open for all the Ausfish boys, with a magnificent flat Bay I was sure we would all be out there somewhere, sorry I missed seeing you. Saw a fair bit of Tuna activity between the 4 Beacons and Tangas, even saw a guy land a nice Longtail just north of Tangas, not sure what method he was using.
    Just got the word from a few mates that were anchored at the measured mile that the 'Schoolies' were on the job. landed 6 but lost twice as many to bite-off's etc. All caught on pillies.

    G'day Rob,

    Saturday was a short day, bloody uncomfortable going over to the Sandhills.
    The morning south wester slopped the bay up. Was ploughing my way to the Beacons until I went down into the gully of two steep ones and 'Torpedoed' my way through the second wave. A big wall of 'Green Liquid' launched over the bow and jammed us back in our seats, reckon I could have body surfed it back over the transom, ya gotta love scuppers Headed straight for the ramp after that.

    How good was Sunday, got the hammer down a couple of times, 5700 revs equates to about 40 knots in the Cyclone, I'm happy with that 8) 8).

    You've done it again Rob, no one else found a spottie yet you guys were 'polling' them, have you ever thought of setting up a charter buisness.
    Would I be right in saying you caught the fish, North of Combie Point and North West of 'Hutchies' ???

    Cheers
    Craig.

    Hi Craig, lol thats a fair dinkum boat test We werent the only ones to find em sportfish was into them too, Kris helped out with a report and the crew had good eyes to spot em so wasnt all my doing, would set up a charter tomorrow but to much bad weather here think west of hutchies and youd be close.

    how long does it take you run out there in yours from bribie?
    I went over to Tanga's with my son, actually did not try that hard, decided to sit on beach & have a beer, watch the world go by, that sort of day

    Gday Michael, rarely ever gone straight to the trench, to many fish on the way it would be at least an hour on a (bad) day.

    Craigie, sounds crazy! I can imagine it too after seeing you launch a couple of times the Sunday before last, a well timed dive into a trench and I can imagine the green wall coming over the bow

    Hey Sharkbait ...i just saw your reply about the fly gear ....and i know what your saying ???

    It isn't too wasy to work with ...especially with 3 in the boat ...I feel a bit iffy using it as i don't want to be piercing the other lads but luckily not yet .

    Not the first time with Rob on the fly either ...
    We were doing quite darn well with the dollies on the fly gear early season .....
    The intention is for a nice Bluefin on fly before this seasons out ! 8)

    I try not to use it too much because it impares their casting ability.....i normally wait till everyone has had some good fish first !

    But.,.....the fish keep coming in hey Rob ALL GOOD

    Re: northern bay

    yeah go the fly billo, just thought mackmauler wasnt into it . One day I will give it a go (when I can afford to) plenty of times we have said "...gee i reckon a fly would make all the difference here"

    Re: northern bay

    Its hard enough catching fish with the standard method hey Kris! fly just holds no interest for me but its great to check out different methods, always learning as they say..hope you get your goal billo thats what its about.
