Went out for a deep drop yesterday or as I have heard some call this the  dark art of fishing. Anywway Reece invited me out with his good mate Kyle and we headed out past Rotto for a fish. First we set  up the outriggers to try and tease up a Marlin until the easterly died down as she was a tad lumpy lol. No luck with that so we headed for our first drop, the sounder was lit up and I was a little nervous with apprenhension as my line sailed down into 350m of darkness. I was introduced the little gremlin greeneyes and Reece told me how one of the bloody things paralysed him with it's spike one time so they were dispatched without even coming on board.

 We tried a couple more spots to no avail and as you know when time starts to fleet with nothing in the icebox frustration sets in. Over to the next spot and Reece says "I was tricking before this is the spot"  ha ha  he wasn't tricking, soon as Kyle's hit the bottom he was on. As soon as mine hit the bottom and a couple of deep bites I was on and We could tell it was a beast. So Reece says to just power it up and I'm looking at the reel and gear creaking and groaning and shitting myself as I knew I had one of those fish of a lifetime on. A few mins later Up pops Kyles Blue eye of around 12-15kgs And I'm thinking Jesus,  a few mins later and out wide of the boat up pops my Trevella we reckoned was around 22-25kg. A lot of high fives and beers later we pulled up another smaller Trevella and called it a day.

I would put Reece down as one Bloody knowledgeable skipper and knows his shit on the sounder, bloody obsessed like me lol.Good blokes to go fishing with,  It's a long haul but well worth it  IMO the beers and fresh bbq chops made it a bit easier. Those Prince Harry's go down alright eh Reece  Thanks again mate for a  top day!
