A fairly average week with not a lot of fish coming on board. Doing the miles and seeing the fish but encouraging them to bite has been another story. Some groups up here seem to be doing well but we are yet to get into the groove !

We have managed to troll up a couple of nice mackies that made it past the Sharks and we have even managed to put a half dozen Ruby's in the esky. The Reds seem to be a little scarce with only 2 size coming on board but lots of babies or just sized which we are releasing. We have managed a couple of really nice Rankins and some other odds and sods including a good size Tang Snapper, which Bernie from Mahi Mahi rates as one of the best eating fish in the sea. We are it that night and would agree, it ate exceedingly well !

Seen some interesting sights, lots and lots of whales, breaching quite close to us, slapping their tails and fins, magnificent but a little unnerving. We were motoring along with a free swimming Sailfish who was sunning himself on the surface with his sail up. Have also seen some free jumping sails and a nice Marlin following up a line caught fish.

Weather has been Ok and we have managed to get out into the hundreds which is where we picked up the Rubies and some Goldband.

Weather is turning feral tomorrow so looks like a couple of days on the beach. Hopefully it will blow over quickly and we can get back into it.

I will try and post a couple of pics from my phone. if it doesn't work it will have to be later.
