Great session! Nice work jon. 

Sorry was a bit slack with the reporting didn’t really take many photos , fishing was pretty good, went and got some livies and anchored up at boat rock. Hooked two good Spanish floating livies out the back, but landed none. One bit through my wire trace( was only using 40lb single strand) and the other pulled hooks. Plenty of nice reefies made up for it though. Just had to get past the kingfish. Got some great Moses perch nice and fat, kept a smaller kingfish for the smoker,  decided to call it early and go check my pots. First two pots had none, third one had seven and last one had two. It was a petty about the Spanish but I Was pretty stoked to have nine sandies and some good reefies and be back at the ramp before midday. Not bad for a solo session.

Unreal mate some top quality trout there. Well done!!

Crystal clear water watching the colours of these beautiful fish appear was awesome.

Been a while for me to and I was running out of fish in the freezer it was a good top up.

These big RTE's pull hard you think you have a small Red Emperor on.

We couldn't get away from the trout while looking for other species it was a tuff problem to have.

Last week we hit a weather window at the Bunker group and found the Coral Trout on fire. They were good size and plenty of big Red Throat Emperor turned on too. Just 1 legal Red Emperor made the box along with Maori Cod, Moses Perch and Tuskies. The weather was exceptional one of the best trips ever for me.

Hopefully all three lol but maybe not with the price of fuel gonna go tomorrow before the weekend crowds arrive

Thanks guys I’ll see if I can rustle up a feed hopefully I don’t hit anything running across the bay might have to wait until first light until I leave the ramp which I’m not a fan of.
 
cheers Hamish I’ll be chasing some dollies first up out wide probably then hopefully some reefies in the arvo

Hi all, it’s been months since I’ve been out offshore mainly due to weather and work not agreeing with each other. Next three days look pretty decent. Just wondering if any one has been out the front of south passage or up the cape since the flood? Just wondering what water quality is like in close offshore mite still be better to head wide
