Top fish mate. What was your bait of choose for the ballooning?

Great conditions by the look of it. Many other crew up there?

my memory serves me right I think it was blue mackeral for bait, nice fat ones! They were absolutely smashing it that arvo for an hour or so. Rig had one launch clean out of the air atleast 5 ft and swallow 3/4 of the balloon rig, insane!

There were a couple camps but we had the best spot as it turned out to be. It was right of the 'oven' and we had plenty of room to balloon and spin every day! Up at 0430 to 2200 every day. Can't wait to go again.

Nice catch from the rocks there mate. Have only ever caught them trolling so to get that horse from the rocks is a great effort.
