There might be a few people out there asking is it worth it. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL YEAH.
Im getting a little a head of myself so ill start at the beging. 6am this moring made the run out to the southen end of north gutter 7am and all the gear is in the water. Nice looking day so far, seen a few birds but not much bait on the way out. 10am and the deckies half asleep (he had fished charles last night and didnt get home till 11pm) things are starting to look like the norm. Its time to ask the question i dread "ya think its worth it" all he can say is "your the skipper"
Time to head home with our tail between our legs.
Half way back to fenton and i spot a little ripple on the surface. We pull up and turf the gear out. 2 minutes later after setting up i have a look at the sounder, "sh*t look at this" quite a big bait ball the likes i havent seen since back in broome. I make the next call "this is what we saw just before seeing sails in broome" Buy this time i turn around and theres a bill bashing the sh*t out of my marlin bait. Ive seen this 3 times now the bastards bash a bait thats 700mm long and ignore the gars. The deckie turns around now and the next 2 minutes are pure adrelain. Im yelling at the top of my lungs wind in the lure and put a pitch bait on, at the same time winding in the big wolfherring. The sails moves over to the teasersand the switch is made. PURFECT, 15 seconds till ya filp the bail i yell and the rest is history.
A few phots later and i make the call "is it worth the hours". I think the reply is something along the lines of "i havent felt that nervous of exilerated since i lost my virginity. HELL YEAH" 30 minuts later we had another pop up and have a look. This time it was back to the norm.
Well i think the bugs back, heres the mark 1208480 13036411. Happy hunting.
