Metro YFT in August ----- You betcha!
Great arvo on the water, me, Langa, Baron and TimVB headed out at 11 am, very gentlemanly. The plan was for a quick dhu jig on the way out then look for some early season sambos for a bit of fun. Things got pretty interesting after that!
First off, Troy with a nice dhu, a PB on jig for Baron.
We then got a few sambos and amberjack on jig but it was hard work and we went to probably 5 shallow sambo spots for a handful of small sambos.
Then it gots nuts after we saw a free jumping fish.....looks like a YFT.....in August......surely not???
Langa was first up.
Followed by Troy.
Tim then got a strippie, released, and as we let the lure back in it got hit immediately, we me landing this YFT which tipped the scales just over 19 kg.
We had to fight off a bloody big shark as we gaffed the tuna......he was not happy and circled the boat for 10 minutes....awesome sight.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Water temp - dunno, my temp
Water temp - dunno, my temp gauge went on the fritz on Sunday,I recon 19 to 20, low for YFT I would have thought?
Shark was a 'ken huge bronzie, had a big boof head. Biggest Bronzie I have seen and it followed us over a km or so between the two encounters we had with him,, but smaller than the Great White we saw in the area last year....that was a tank.

Love your work mate. Super jealous
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
