Headed of from Freo Fishing Boat Harbour around 6am on Sat morn heading for the grounds wide of Rottnest Island. The swell was around 3 metres as we headed around 30 kms out. The trip taking around an hour or so.
On board were a group of South Aussie tackle shop owners who had chartered the whole boat for 4 days. Good company.
Got to the grounds and went over the wreck to find a good showing of fish on the sounder. Lines went down and it was on.
Most fights took around 15-20 mins on 80-130lb stand up gear.
Gear supplied was top shelf Stella's, Saltiga's, Torsa's and the Van Staal's with matching top class rods.
End total was around 40 fish measured and released for the day with all between 120 and 150 cms. No real monsters between them unfortunately.
Can definatll recommend this to anyone thinking about it but it does take its toll on your body big time. Even working a jig in 110 metres of water is damn hard work let alone dragging fish up.
Will post up some pics when my computer finally decides to play the game.
