Boulder, Phatso, Squid and I ventured out to the Crack this morning and were greeted by the most insane barrel fishing sessions for both hook-ups and average size I've personally had for a long time.....gannets, dolphins, whales and hungus snappers in attendance!...all very Blue Planet stuff you understand....picture this trendsetters:

Bait fleeing from the water moments before a big ol' Moby crashes their party as squadrons of dive bombers attack the peremeters and Flipper goes 'round the outside all this only meters from the Enki Toa....pure food chain magic!!



Haystacks on top of haystacks.....the fuse is lit!

after an hour or two the bite turned off and all went quite....we like to call this mysterious event the "Burwood Scarecrow Effect" which seemed to follow us around anytime a work up was beggining getting going.......anyhoo....long story short we spent the next few hours chasing the odd sparadic work up here and there then found another patch of hungus ones....Phatso managed to PB himself a very respectable wee number on a Pearl 110mm Squidgie Flick Bait.....



A Phat One and over his left shoulder is Worsel!

"Yeah it's a good one bro!! play it like its a 20lber...HOLLY SHEEEET hommie!!"...about this stage around 13 tonnes of Bryde's Whale surfaced in the middle of a bait ball with Phatso's line wrapped once around it's rudder....pretty exciting times....Squid had the gaff and Japan Airlines on standby but after a short time the line came loose and Willy was free!

anyhoo.....fantatstic day out sniffing around Boulder's Crack (you'll find sick bags in the seat pocket in front of you!).....home and cleaned up by 3pm with plenty of freight (26 in total with an impressive average size plus at least twice that released)....

Thanks you fullas.....mint as day!

PS...beware the "Scarecrow Effect"...it is very strong!!

Definitely a great day to be on the water, go the whales.

Sounds awesome! Was looking like a minta out there earlier on.

Well done ,your bins were full with nice fat snaps,a excellent day on the gulf.

The scarecrow (cheekie buggar )managed plenty of fat reds.-Lucanus doing the damage until a larger unit chomped through the hooks.

Dam good show chaps! lol lucky green peace was there aye, hurting that poor whale.  Good one on the PB phats... thats it I'm off the order some lucanus.
