Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Lures in the water off cape runaway at 06.30 trolled out to 1500 meter line then headed east a lot of boats hooking up but seems mostly straight out from cape runaway so we spun around and headed that way
Was rather frustrating listening to all the hookups over the radio we soon found ourselves in an area where fish were being caught and at 09.10 the port side rigger sprung and the tiagra 80 was singing
With the rest of the gear cleared away we settled in for the fight
Towards the end the fish was down under the boat when the motor decided to quit on us again just what we didn’t need
Luckily the fish didn’t do anything silly and we had it boatside after 45 min
So now with a fish on the deck we reset the gear had a beer and pointed the bow towards home
After another hour of dragging lures it was time to pull the gear and steam 65nautical miles back to Whakatane
Total distance traveled at sea 400km
330l fuel used
Fish weight 83.4kg
Got home at 16.40 proceeded to clean and pack the catch with help from family got to bed at 22.00
Now got to clean the boat
