THANK YOU......out of isolation tomorrow

Went for a fish out at the 80 metre mark from Bowentown. Plenty of skippies on the way. Good average size. Also nailed a couple of mahimahi

Wow Venatori getting Mahi Mahi would be a treat, were they hanging around something floating. Never caught one, such a cool looking fish and apparently good eating.

Hi ventori.... what day was that?

Went on a little trip to the coromandel last week, took the little boat out in the firth of Thames. Good fun hauling in snapper on a light rod. At one point I was reeling one in with every drop. They were biting so aggressively at one point that they were biting an empty hook with a half inch ball sinker next to it. Some were even taking it on the surface! They were mostly under size and I only landed 3 legal pannies in two outings. Both times every bit of bait was gone in less than an hour (it didn't last 5 seconds on the hook, even with elastic) but it was good fun, and a good sign for the future stocks. I'll have to go back next year and catch them again when they are bigger!
