Had a bit of a troll round Sail Sat morning, didn't see much, no schools of tuna or anything. on the way home midday today was quite surprised to find cleaner water at Bowra with tuna everywhere, got a nice long tail and a Spaniard on light gear, was fun, got some good footage of a bait ball hiding under the boat being attacked by sharks, macks and tuna as well, was amazing.

Saw one small billie out at Bateman Wide, midday Sat, think it was a little Black though, not a sail. Had a ball jigging again :-)

Might have to get down on the cleaner water for the sails I reckon, won't be for a little while though

Cheers

If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!

Especially when you can see them!

Yeah I'm hoping it isn't going to be as bad as expected being easterly I give up on trusting the westerly predictions :)
If there's a bit of rain around it may mean there won't be much wind ?? That's what in hoping for ;)

Have fun guys, hopefully you get amongst them, water was definitely starting to clear up a bit more on Tuesday when we headed back.

Had a ball again, found some huge bait balls around the place, will do a post up

Cheers 86
