    Nice pics Rob......Jack told me you bought a digi camera.....i must say its great to see you without that black belaclava on..he he
    What camera did you buy? resolution is very clear indeed.....looks a top day out on the water......will have to take the haines out there soon ay........Jack said Rob always comes home with a feed of fish.....makes me look bad only bringing 3 bream home..lol
    Cheers Brent. PS.
    Do you reckon 120 litres of fuel will be enough for an offshore trip.......i use 30 litres return from the South passage bar.
    Might be a bit difficult filling the boat up with extra fuel when the fuel cap is in the back of the boat well.....sometimes under water.......the 90 hp motor makes the stern sit lower in the water.

    Jamie, its really a waste of time trolling the slugs, they will catch you tuna and the odd dolphin fish but there are much better trolling lures around, if you want to catch bait cast the slugs into the schools, it works better.

    Brent, thats not me in the pic, its my brother, lol

    The camera is an olympus 3 pixels has optical zoom, I took the pics on high res and they are really good but they lose some quality after downsizing to be able to upload here.

    That would be plenty of fuel, trolling for a long time you might need more, just top up leaving the bay and returning, or get shelter west of shag rock and fuel there. We did 135km yesterday leaving from vicky point to south passage and coming home through the pin bar.

    rob.. your brother needs the balaclava as well lol. just kiddin. looks like you guys did pretty well. what sort of tuna? yellowfin or stripies?
    we fished here and it was still pretty quiet. got one little cobia (74.5cms ), one schoolie, a couple of big grassies and a little black tip. we counted 17 boats in a small patch south of the NW fairway marker.
    wish i came with you guys. maybe next time?

    Rob you must be twins......he looks just like you...well close anyhow.
    I,m interested in the price of that camera......mine is olympus 1.3 megapixels but has no optical zoom.......yep you are correct in that downsizing the high quality pics you do lose clarity.
    I just use the lower resolution and it is always around 50 to 65 KB.
    Cheers Brent
