Trip Summary
Trip Summary
The weather was pretty average and the seas were rough but we bashed our way out to the deep reefs where 300 gram long jigs were dropped to the dark depths to see if anything was biting. Upon hitting the bottom 250 ft below us a couple of cranks on the reel saw the boys hooked up to someting solid. A battle ensued for about 10 minutes before a large yellowtail kingfish came 8nto view. The decision was to keep this fish as one of the lads was feeling seasick in the rough conditions and home was calling so we left earlier than expected but job done and the boys were stoked with there big catch. A great morning had by all!
