Went out for a full day to the Barwon Banks where the water was a little bit lumpy but calmed down soon enough after we dropped the pick. The fishing was pretty exciting with some good sized Tuskies and small Snapper caught. We also had a few HUGE runs on the baitcasters where we couldn’t turn the beast and were almost spooled numerous times until being busted off. After this we decided to upgrade to our heavier gamefishing tackle and soon enough one of the boys was hooked up on to a monster Hightail Amberjack weighing around 25kg that took a good 10mins to bring to the boat. After it was gaffed and safely stored inside the esky the game rod went off again. This time a huge Bronze Whaler Shark weighing more than 60kg was eventually brought to the boat and released safely. Soon after we served up some lunch and motored home while spotting whales, dolphins and plenty of birdlife. All in all another top day out!
Monday 7 June.
Fishing was a bit hit and miss this past week.Thursday we went out to the Banks with Alan and his crew.Caught a good variety of fish including a huge diamond trevally.We came home with a good feed and the action was steady but not on fire.Top Catch was a beautiful green jobfish at 2 1/2 kg.We snuck out Saturday and as expected the strong offshore winds held us in close where conditions were good though the fish were not in the mood to bite.Undersize squire are everywhere and few legal fish were active.To confuse us further Sunday was really busy, we did a 1/2 day and Robert”s gang of Kiwi”s had a great morning.A good feed of fish including mobile casino some nice Maori Cod,good haul of crabs, Whales ,Dolphins and joined the flotilla to welcome Jess Watson home on the way back in.You cant get better than that on a 5 hour trip.
