offtap1 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Went out of Sydney yesterday, Slimies were a no show after spending an hour chasing, hit 12 mile for a desert with nothing showing, hit the shelf NE and trolled with Beakie spread out just east of shelf line in 22 deg water about 12ks north of Bait Station before turning East and then south travelling 8ks outside shelf line in fabulous 23.2 deg water , no bait or bird activity but water looking so promising, NE winds came up about 2pm as predicted by Sea Breeze on way back, found a Private Fad wide which held 250mm kingies and same at wave rider, great day out, no prize but always next time. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomahawk1999 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Hi Dave, we we're also out on Sunday. We hit the bait station early but only found 20.8 degrees so decided to continue to run east for another 18 Nm until we got to 23deg, dropped the lures in and changed to a NE heading, the water got warmer up to 24 and then we turned nth and followed a nice current line. Found a few birds working flying fish but generally the water looked quite lifeless. Off Avalon and 42Nm east we found some melon head whales and a few more birds but still didn't turn a reel. Continued trolling Nth. The highlight of the day except for the company and BS stories was a big mako free jumping. We got ended up running back to Sydney from just inside the shelf as the water had dropped back to 20.2 deg after doing 140 nm for the day! Still can't complain it beats working anyday! Cheer's Rod.
