Went out with Billo this morning, put in at cleveland and headed 40ks east of there, good run till the rain started
The fishing was slow while it persisted, only 1 yellowfin decked by billo, As luck would have it the rain clearing coincided with high tide.
Within minutes the short lure was belted by a screamer, hooks pulled unfortunately ??? then the long lure was hammered, the fight mostly consisted of winding in all the line it took, not a very dogged fight which ruled out wahoo, sure enough a decent spanish ended up on the gaff, 130cm est.
Mactuna came on the bite about then, tally 7 hookups 4 decked, 1 sharked, 2 quick releasesI was into a tuna While billo cleared the lures, his retrieve was halted by a decent wahoo, nothing runs as fast, the line was ripping through the water that hard you could here it, A few minutes later billo had his first and not the last I bet
Trolling back to the bar, the biggest stripey Ive seen round here took a pusher, 6 or 7 kilos, more reef bait, Lets hope for calm seas this wk end hey
