Well, we got blown to south africa first thing this morning. Managed to get half a dozen small flathead and one decent sized one. We then spent the next 5 hours waiting for the wind to drop fishing the desert. Just after lunch we headed out to the hundred metre mark and found schools of 1kg tuna which were a bit of fun on the light stuff.

We then headed out to the fads and trolled around them for a while with a few inquisitive dollies. Then the idea to berley up came along and wallah, we were into them.

We managed to land 5 dolphinfish, lost 3, 2 to the fads and 1 jumped out of the net and snapped off. I have some awesome photos and some SIIIIICK video footage that I will get to editing this week. Our day was saved by some awesome aerobatics, line peeling action on the light gear and a few beers on the way home.

What an afternoon of fishing!!! Its is one of the best feelings I've had from fishing in a long time and am still amped after the dolly session that was put on. STOKED is one word that comes to mind!

Video snippets will be out this week once I've done some editing.
