Ended up unfortunately or not unfortunately with the first ball of fish (pilchards) getting smoked by a big blue. By the time the boys had the spearguns loaded the action was over and the bait ball was moving too quick(probably for the better admittedly we didnt have them loaded as expected to not see jackrabbit). Spent the next hour or two messing around just covering ground and hopping in on the bait balls ranging between 85-95m off oceans. The blokes out there are good buggers and for a first time messing about learnt some good things to increase the odds next time! Hopefully didnt step on anyones toes out there. Most the bait we saw were pilchards. |

My mate has a Bertram 31 called Buccaneer, saw couple marlin feeding but by time we go there they had gone. Plenty of bait balls around but no fish on a lot of them, had a troll around, got excited when all 4 rods went off but turned out to be kings. |
