Highs and Lows

Talk about the highs and lows of fishing ! Sunday saw us battling ugly conditions with 25 knot SW winds pushing up against southbound current and waves up to 3 meters. I had to idle around between spots and the strong winds made staying on the spots hard. We only caught 1/2 dozen Kingys and a few Bonito. Unfortunately the sloppy conditions bought on a few cases of sea sickness and the boys decided to return a little bit early.



Monday was the best weather day of the whole season and the fish really turned it on ! We kept our bag limit with heaps of nice ones over 5kgs. Some Bonito and Samson Fish made up the by catch and we released heaps of Kings to fight another day....
The Jackets however took a toll of mine and the boys Jig collection and several spools of line. We watched Jackets following up the Jigs only to peel off and swim over to the lines still in the water and snip them off , losing
100 metres of line , leader and Jig. F*#K'N JACKETS was the cry of the day.
Daiwa Speed Jigs and Turkey Sliders are still the main producers, unfortunately I am down to my last Sacrifice Stick. I think I will retire it to my office before the jackets get to it. Best colours seem to be Pink and Silver.

Yesterday fishing was tough AGAIN. ! Heaps of little one though around 60cms have moved in and its hard to pull a legal one out. We ended up keep around 10 and a few Bonito , Amber-Jack and Trevally.
