Took mini me out this morning.
Tired of chasing gurnard I tried something different, deployed long line deepish and burlyed up in Dads old terakihi spot....after an hour and a half we had one legal cod so bailed, went to recover long line....something realky heavy on it...was winding the boat to it but couldnt raise it before something gave.
More than half of the hooks gone and backbone cut in half...Im thinking big bronzy or some other shark.
Steamed out to 30m chart line and burlyed up in the hope of a early snapper tho the sun was high by now and I should have done that first.
Got some good gurnard and big kahawai and a fair few spiky dogs as well.
Called it quits and gave the aux a run on the way in and ran over a intersting ball of something on the sounder.
