Recent Dundee trip
Went to Dundee Wednesday Thursday with a couple mates. Absolutely cr.p condition as it was blowning its ass off for the whole trip. We bagged on goldies in close but not massive only 50-60 range. Sail city was dead with no bait , no macs or sails with one decent blue blue caught.
Fished the 9 pm turn in the channel the perons for donuts . It's blew up all night and we nearly got frost bite it was that cold. We set the alarm for 4am but it was too cold to get out of bed. We shivering until about 10 am. Did manage 3 nice jewies 110,115,120 on the turn but 4 other boats around us got donuts. It was standing waves heading out of the channel and a wet trip back bowra. About 2 pm condition improved so we trolled our way to the witches nose. No Macks around but we got afew mac tuna to feed the cockies need time.
Really hate Dundee on the neaps but better than working.

Hope you keeping well Andy,AM wrote:Nice to see a report Tran well done. Looks like you have upgraded the cotton. I have down graded to 50lb here
Not funning around with the cotton there any more. It's 80lb pound on my saltiga and 2-5pe venom. Those cockies are going nowhere once hooked but numbers are definitely down.
Wish we had a cabin boat on this trip. These type of trip just makes you feel real.....ah old!

Pretty good results for neap tides out there I reckon! Awesome bluebone too, they're really an impressive fish when they're that size, scales like a 50c piece!!

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!

Re: Recent Dundee trip
Haha usually great better size goldies on the springs. We never get reds and trouts on the neaps in numbers just a tonne of trickies. Also find the Mackey feed more on the springs.
Only fish the neaps cause I love chasing Cockies in the channel and it's a nice place to camp and drink cans.

Some nice fish there, the weather has been shite of late with the wind.
Hope it stays away for my bynoe overnighter this weekend.
