Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Slow fishing on the last day of 2020. Dinner party saved by a very welcome john dory at 2.6kg!

Epic new year's day ...talked VC into coming down earlier than stupid o'clock...poor barstard was up way to early...packed boat night before..up and down to ramp to float the boat before it became impossible.

Parked truck ..got back to the bost to find VC and jrVC chucking in their gear ..happy new year ...down to pass to chase kings ....Whales ..in current basin ...oil calm spent an hour whale watching...fished pass to much current

Off to other spots plus one more whale watch ..saw a school of kings gulping krill..no joy on the jigs ...got to our hunting ground ..bombed down a couple of long lines ..kings under the boat..mild panic from me ...hooked a keeper ..put it back e expecting more joy ...nope that was that..

Went deep chasing snaps ..1st line down... trying to rig up a stray line ..bang we were on ...half grown snaps....carrots came on the chew ..boated a good dozen ..the VC hooks a screamer ...looks good pulling line and VC working it hard ...gone pulled the hook ..wind kicked up so pulled the hook lines ..one wee tangle .couple of snaps gumboots and grey boys ..

Gave a bloke and family a hand to get home..ended the day with a quick dive and a couple of crays ...many hands filleting fish ..perfect ..happy new year
