What area are people looking at working I was thinking maybe Bateman or sail wide. But if there is gonna be a few boats working an area I will be in that to get some action going
Not 100% yet will decide Friday but pretty sure I will be there at least one day

Agent86

Having a go at Bateman Wide and Bateman on Sat, then Sail on Sunday

Few big lows pushing up might be in for a wet arse !! May just do a day trip rather than a over nighter!!

Agent86

nah! as long as there is not too much wind should be ok.

Might have to just hide somewhere overnight, got a good cab on the old boat!!

I reckon I might get down there this weekend. Hit the Finnish in the morn and chase some sails and macks later in the day.

Agent86

good luck guys, looks like it might be a great weekend wind wise.

make sure you all let us know the outcome, wouldn't be surprised to hear of some with the intermittent weather we have had.

Fished Sail City this morning. Plenty of Mac tuna and longies, no mackeral and bugger all bait. The water everywhere was nice and clean but green, not blue.

Saw one free jumper early about 5k's south of Sail City. Hooked a big longie at Sail City on a skipping mullet and got it to the back of the boat before a 100++ Kg Black came and attacked it, grabbed it and snapped us off. Shortly after that we had a saiil climb all over the teasers but wouldn't go near the skip baits.

Trolled all the way up to Long Lost for zip. The only bait balls that we could find were tiny anchovy type fish about an inch long. Plenty of tuna but not much else.

All up for the day we had 3-0-0.

Cheers

Good stuff warren I tried calling you a few times during the day but for no answer your boat is zed ex ??? Could hear back cast and zed ex over the radio but couldn't raise you
I only managed to raise one small sail and miss the hook up on the drop back maybe one free jumper earlier not 100% tho was a fair way out all around witches nose and wider
