Back to Back
Decided the weather was looking promising on the weekend, and with the missus in Sydney, decided to do a trip both days.
Saturday was a gentlemens start around 10am and we were off for some Squid.
Ziggy joined me for the morning, and i had promised him we would find some squid.
Was a slow start with only managing a small on in the first 45 minutes or so. Decided to move out a little deeper and first cast saw the first nice squid come up probably around 800gms.
Next cast both Ziggy and i got 2 more in, probably around 800-850gms.
But what was more interesting was a squid that followed up these 2, it would have been doubel the size of the ones on the jigs, and it was more interested in attacking the other 2 squid rather than the jigs.
Got mine in promptly, and ziggy lost his on the side of the boat (even a boat near buy had a good laugh at him) :) put the jig down after this big boyt (he was right under the boat but was very tentative and wouldnt take the jig. Soon after he disappeared.
Kept jigging with plenty of squid on this new ground we had found. with squid every couple of minutes.
went quiet for a bit due to this fella deciding to hang round!!!
after he moved on, the squid came back. Ended up with 26 with only 2 or 3 for bait!!!
yum salt and pepper squid!!!!
Ziggy with some nice Calamari
Sunday was out wide somewhere north of rotto. This time Ziggy and Marc joined me for the trip.
was a little choppy, and the winds were stronger than the weather report predicted.
Was a bit of a bumpy ride and DAM COLD as well.
Cold Pic!!! think it was about 5 degrees. doing 30 knots.. big chill factor!!
Marc wanted a few fancy pics with the spray from the boat.
How you know your fishing in the wrong spot
Tried many different depths and found some new ground holding LOADS of fish. Some new marks on the gps with some good fish on it!!
Loaded up
i think they were sambos, but after doing a fair amount of jigging, i wasnt in the mood to drop a jig down again to find out.
Did manage a few fish
God a nice BB to about 420
Ziggy got his First dhu, only a small one but it surely did wet his appitiete for chasing them again.
Few release weight shots of the dhu going back down.
Marc Managed his First ever baldie.... on mono!!!! in almost 70m of water!!!!!!! he found out they go pretty hard too.
Nice fish went 490mm.
Managed a few more fish and then headed back in around 3.30pm... was a Bumpy trip back but still managed 25 knots.
Good weekend on the water.

PS: Marc had a yak over the side too!! :)
How many times do ya have to tell them DONT eat sausage rolls before you go out wide!. Lesson learnt i think hey Marc :)

Awsome pics and trip
Jip, grease not good before a trip, pretty good afterwards to settle a green belly. Just like a good suvalaki after a night out but dont have it before.
3 sharkos on one rig, I would have moved pretty fast.

wow
nice baldie.
we saw you guys filling up at the servo on thomas road in the early hours of sunday morning so it must have been a long expensive trip to go north of rotto from rockingham?
you should've stayed around where we launched. we got a pigeon pair of nice dhus around 8 - 10kg, and were back in by 12pm for a barbie.
didnt have to travel that far!!
