Long lost 3/11/13

Post by Gibbsy »

Went out to upto bowra sunday morning with a couple mates only for a couple of small trickies, decided to pop by long lost for incoming as we neared long lost lots of baitfish being harrassed by macks and spotted a few sails getting airborne. Anchored up on a nice lump which paid off with plenty of trickies around 4-5kg mark, one red emperor a few stripies and a couple of coral trout. Floated a sauri out back to get busted off from what looked like a billie never heard of billies taking mack baits under a balloon, managed to make an 80lb trace look like cotton wasnt cut but snapped. Lost some of substanial weight on the torium barely made any line with 24kg rod and 50lb still dont know what it was as it fought like a tawny nurse but not running as hard, ended up spitting hook not signs of teeth...any ideas?? Wind started to pick up a lil around 2pm so decided to bimble back to lodge with a pretty comfy ride. All in all a good day, mackies didnt seem interested in slices, diving minnows , sauri or knife jigs. Will try and get photos off my mate :)

We had a pretty good day Saturday got some nice Reefies, then had some fun with tuna then they moved away and schools of macks were cruising around underneath us, nothing to massive but plenty of fun and made for some good footage

I'm hearing you shark hunter I would say 650-750 at least those big boys look big but until you weigh em it's tough. :wink: I'm no expert on it though ask anybody , only got em up so say 550mm.glad you had fun that is the main thing
