Give us a call on ch 72 brent looks like its longlost then down to bowra wide sat, if the wind backs off Sunday were heading out wide of roche searching for some new shoals. One last check of the winds later if its calm enough we might even sleep in the boat.

Good luck guys,
I got to work most of the weekend so I can't tag along, made a trip out yesterday instead. Raised 5 and landed 2 (off of a double hook up while fishing solo) all within 1 hour either side of the turn of the tide. Got all the strikes within about 500m of each other trolling between Bowra wide and longlost, right near the top of what Double haul calls the witches nose.

Will fire up the GPS tonight and load some marks onto the billfish log.

Cheers guys, Adam...

Big girls you are beautiful

see ya there brent. Im thinking of looking a little further north early then to bowra so keep ya radio on if i don't see you at the ramp. Cheers for the heads up upnorth was heading that way anyway but is good to hear there around before a trip. Most fish I've seen there so far have been 2 nm north of where they were last year but still in the general area. (pretty shore i posted the waypoints)

I'll at Bowra wide on Sunday, keep an eye out for a blue and white quintrex freedom sport 480.
Haven't got a cool call sign but if you hear a Turkey gobble on 72 it's probably me. Just call Upnorth I guess.

Cheers, Adam...

Hi All,
I'm in. I will be at Bowra wide/Blaze wide/Long Lost on Sunday, Monday and probably Tuesday as well. Bowra wide is going to look like the Car Park off Port Stephens at this rate....

I will be in a 6m bare hull Quinnie, just look for those beer cans doing their thing out the back.

Cheers,
John.

Have fun boys the boss asked me to work on saturday today.

This can only mean 0-5 knts all day. Looks like a trip out to fenton or north gutter on sunday will have to do.

Good luck to anyone heading out (l have to work

) it might be a idea to have a video camera on board not only for the fish but in case the pros are up to any tricks as a couple of posts suggest as well dont forget that these are the type of things that happend last year as per previous posts
