    first dolphin fish

    headed out thru the pin early this morning it was my first time out thru the pin but conditions were pretty good , got surprised by how far you have to go before the depth gets over 3m just south of the pin there were truck loads of bait with birds working them , but l was unable to get an enquiry decided to put a couple of xmas decorations out the back and see if a beaky could be found , worked my way south along the 50 m line not much hapening but good to be out there , it wasnt till about 1 km north of the sea way l had my first hit now l have discovered watching the rods which are behind me and steering the boat isnt that easy by the time l new l was on the fish was leaping 100 m further back than l was trolling the lure , then there was the other rods to wind in and the photos and the gaff it was all happening some how managed to boat a nice dolphin fish my first
    trolling off shore can be a bit slow but when your on its a big buzz l will be getting into this when ever weather permits

    cheers spike

    hey jeff l was in around 46 m of water not having a gps cant tell you how far l was off shore but im sure there are others on this site who will know , the water is a really nice blue when you get out to the 50 m mark there were a heap of game boats out there and l beleive they were into the marlin , most of the action was straight out from the sea way , bait everywhere out there looked like stocky white bait the dolphin fish was ful of them

    cheers spike

    top work spike, pissing myself laughn over your camera work

    young fella was speared by a marlin at the gold coast and taken to hospital, they really are very dangerous fish when they get close to the boat.

    Outrageous dropped a Sail then circled back to the pod and got and landed a double on 6kg to win the Tournament 400m off the Seaway. We got a Black and there were some others seen on the 24 fathom (about 45m) reefs out from the Seaway - maybe 4 mile or so.
