With the Bandit out due to Uni commitments myself and the Blue Water Addict hit the water at 11 am on Monday and were on our way to Blaze it up 
.We started at Blaze wide and did around 5 drops for some trickies, tuskies, and some juvenile reds. We kept pushing along as ground that usually produces some quality fish was quiet.
We arrived at north Bateman wide in the late arvo to land a few average sized reds and got a good school of trickies come on averaging about 2 and a half kilo just before we left. Still unhappy with the fishing we pushed into inner Bateman for a last drop before Dinner.
Arriving at inner Bateman we found some good bladder on the sounder and nailed a nice tuskie, more trickies (surprise) and I managed a 5 kg Reddy trolling squid on the bottom whilst pullin the pik!!
Don’t ask! 
With that we thought it was time for din dins and a sleep. We awoke at 6am to a fish trawler raping and pillaging Bateman. Surprisingly after 5 drops we hadn’t even landed a boxable fish???
We decided it was time to push down to Ford. We found a few lumps on the way to down where the addict smacked a couple of stonka troutaz, and I managed some sweet trickies and a donkey tuskie. 
We arrived at Cape Ford in the early arvo and after finding some good fish on the sounder we set the pick.
What followed on that drop and the next 2 was some of the most savagest goldie sessions I’ve seen fishing across the whole top end the only thing that didn’t set it apart was that was the biggest topped out around 4kg.
To put it plainly the goldies were feral at Cape Ford and triple and double headers were standard and anything less was sub standard. 
The addict got a couple of double headers on jig and a heap of singles. Amongst all of this we were surrounded by fields of Macs, Dolphins and Humpback whales.
It was truly specy back drop for the fishing. A couple of other memorable moments at Ford were the addict getting a triple header of power tails all around the 6 kg which unfortunately I was not aloud to photograph (aaaaahahahahahaa) and a sailfish which nailed a small goldie on the way to the surface which was lost 50m from the boat when it decided the snap snap wasn’t worth it. After two hectic days at of Goldie and mixed reef action o and 1 jew we decided to head north to some marks that I had the opportunity to fish a few years ago. We whopt it there onto more troutaz, a heap of nannygai, trickies, and as night fell the addict wacked a close to 7kg Red!! Whoop Whoop!!!!
The final day saw us cruising in a homeward direction stopping by at Bateman where BWA jumped in for a dive spearing a tuskie, 2 small trout, a trickie and a shark that got too close. We then had a couple of drops at inner blaze for not much then had a drop at Bowra which yielded 3 trout, 4 goldies and some small mixed crud.
All in all a top trip, Blaze and the Perons definetly fishes better on bigger tides and without fish trawlers. Regardless tho very memorable and hands down to the addict who is a top deckie (anyone would think he might do it for a job). Unfortunately time is on my back and its time to return to work, at least I got to whack Bathurst and Ford……..Until next time……………………………
More pics to come.............
