Fishraider Gamefishing Reports http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php Sun, 13 May 2012 00:08:56 +0000 120 http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=63203 We we had our first charter yesterday for the season and headed out & got some liveys then headed for the 12 mile. After speaking to another boat that was wider we new we were in for some average conditions during the morning. We pulled some lures & headed wide looking for the temperature break that was on the charts & found it in about 450 fathoms. We set a trail & spent over 4 hours cubing & jigging till dark for zero's. The water temperature is still a bit warm but the fish can't be far away.
Cheers

From there we steamed out to Botany wide FAD where we managed to pick up two Dollies.

After the FAD we punched it out to Browns and put out a spread in hope of some fin.. trolled wide of browns until we were about 35 miles out, pulled the lures in and started the trail.

We had been cubing for 4 1/2 hours when we jagged a good albacore on the jig, came in just on 12kg's.. not long after that we had a shark out the back that we watched cruise away from the boat into the sunset.. thought it had lost interest and moved on however it was back at the boat in a matter of seconds and we were hooked up.

Took about an hour to get it boat side where it made a fine mess of the paint job, chewed on the transom ladder and then bit down on the rear rail where it got lock jaw and stayed there all the way home.

Not the best pics of the shark, might put up a link to the go pro footage - pretty funny episode.










Cheers

While the reports off Sydney were slow it's only a matter of time as the fishing down south is just hotting up. Local Narooma longliner Fisco had been catching good size fish out on the 1000 fathom line but the weather had kept all the smaller boats inside over the last couple of weeks. But this weekend had great conditions with a lot of boats getting out and into the fish on Saturday, many of the fish were 20kg models with a few bigger fish being lost.
The currents are looking great for fish off Sydney very soon & if the weather is good this weekend I expect things to start picking up. Hopefully we can get Reef Magic back in the water by Wednesday & get her back in action.
We have plenty of days available so if your keen give me a call.

Cheers

As we are now back in Sydney we are going to start taking bookings for charters for yellowfin off Sydney.
As you guys who fished with us last year know we had a great time off Sydney catching plenty of yellowfin,albacore & mako's. With our biggest yellowfin hitting 70kg & biggest albacore going 14kg & biggest mako at 260kg.
We will again be doing big days with the mid morning to mid afternoon doing some trolling & jigging and the afternoon into the dark spent cubing,jigging & popping for tuna.
Our prices are the same as last year at $1750 per day with all gear & lunch with soft drinks provided. We normally say 5 - 7 are good numbers on board with plenty for everyone to do. Its a great day out at $350 per person based on 5 anglers or $250 per person based on 7 anglers.
If anyone is keen give me a call on 0407113349 and we can book you a day out.

Cheers

Might have to get the boat down off Sydney as the reports of blues is very encouraging

The reports off Sydney are great with our club tournament on this weekend - we aren't fishing as we are replacing the outriggers after a yacht snapped one while we were moored at Port but we have had some encouraging reports today. There were only a few stripes caught and about 5 or so blues with Gale Force releasing an estimated 220kg blue. The best news I had was what I predicted with 10 or so 50kg yellowfin being caught !!!!!!!! That water looks perfect for those early season big barrels & it's great to see a few caught on the toll.... If you haven't already get yourselves some Scent Blazer lures as they will be a big hit this season.
Anyway we are now taking bookings for charters off Sydney so if your keen give me a call on 0407113349.
