And to close the month, Sailfish and Blue Pearl made a late call and headed out on the last Saturday.
Sea conditions were forecast to be less than favourable and the forecast was not wrong; fortunately with a south east swell the bar was very passive.
Pieter and Matt headed deep to the cod highway, whereas Jason and Derek hit the closer reefs to avoid the bruising.
First drop on Sailfish saw a cracker snapper landed by Derek and netted expertly by Jason. A few more drops there produced another couple of snapper for Derek and that theme continued at a deeper reef. Jason’s paternostering eventually bagged a couple of nice Pearlie’s off the bottom. Jason eventually saw the wisdom and converted his rig to floatline, dropped down his bait and BOOM, fish on! A steaming run saw line spooling off the reel but this beast was unstoppable, eventually reaching the bottom and reefing the line, a typical AJ escape tactic.
A great day on the water. Pieter reported a number of green eye sharks and a decent size Tilefish; we are hoping to hear how the taste-test went for that.
