South gutter sail
Went to south gutter today with AM for a look. Early on we got a few macs then bottom fished for a while.
On the way in at around 12 we dropped the teasers and pushers out the back. 10min later I spotted a fish next to my pusher!!!!! So I grabbed the rod and jigged the push a few times and the sail grabbed it..........
It didn't go as hard as the ones in WA last year but I was happy.... After a short fight I landed my first sail on a skirted lure.... We took a few pics and sent it back to make someone elses day.
I will post some pics when I work out how to do it from my phone!
Thanks to AM for a great day.... Pitty the 3rd party couldn't make it !! Maybe next time ghound??

Re: South gutter sail
Trick questions, how fast do you cruise on the way out there and how long does it take? I've got a 4.5m plate boat with a 75 4St - am I dreaming?

No Pete you're not just pick your weather. I know a guy that gets out North Gutter in a 13 footer but he is a little keen....

Re: South gutter sail
Yeah bottom bouncing was a bit of a washout Doug but it was a nice morning on the water thats for sure plus a few fish when we were having a tow around to top it off. It was getting time to burn off a bit fuel or get it out of the tank anyway.DOUG wrote:how did you fellas go bottom bounching??? was my best trip ever to the south gutter i normally go there to waste fuelAM wrote:Thought we saw you heading back in around Charles Point.DOUG wrote:well done mate we spent all sat night in south gutter slapping goldies and the bait and flying fish that was around the boat was unreal
