Who's fishin tomorrow?
Submitted by beau on Thu, 2017-02-23 15:02
Who is heading out tomorrow or Saturday and what's your plans? Bit blowy in the mornings but eases off nicely into the early arvos. Have the green light for both days but after last weekends efforts, just under 60nm trip on sunday for bugger all, dedicated a pelagic only day only to find super dirty water all the way from woodies to west end, my confidence is shot so not sure what to target next few days. Thinking maybe a check on ffb for an early morning pink then a look into the 40s for kgw and tuna. Any tuna reports out of rockingham still?
Cheers

Lots of weed around today
FFB and back of garden island but fish were going ape, bagged out by 9 putting three dhuies back and keeping one all hooked within seconds of each other (two double headers) no nibbles just bent rods, they were really hungry so good luck tomorrow

Looked like nice conditions early today . Giving the back of GI a bash tomorrow i think till the wind dies off a bit then might duck out the back of 5 fathom later.

Hoping
Hoping to hit FFB over the weekend, last weekend there were tuna free jumping all over the place, but very skittish. If you came within casting range they were gone, only to show up 200m away shortly afterwards.
Good luck, hoping I get the green light to head out Saturday.
Cheers,
BD.

In. 45 metres, tuna busting up around the boat
But couldn't tempt them with slices but didn't try too hard as the bottom dwellers were manic. Swell still reasonably large, took over an hour to get out where I wanted to go after passing though the channel as anything over 14 knots was hard on the back

I saw quite a few tuna and
I saw quite a few tuna and birds flying overhead around half way along Rotto on south side in 40meters about 3kms south of the island. I wasn't really set up for them and had already had enough snags, tangled lines and lost gear today to be too bothered with them.
Were you using placcies or bait today Sunshine?

Well done Sunshine
I worked my butt off out there today - baby pinkies, no dhuies, 2 Chinaman Cod inside and outside 5FB before going 100m and still couldn't get anything. A lot of driving for not much today.
A bit of swell and chop, but tolerable out there. Bit rough coming back in around 2PM though.

Saturday and Sunday
Im heading out from Mindarie on Sat for a troll really early to see if I can tempt an elusive mackie and then head out a bit further for a crack at some bottom tasties and Sunday Ill be out only for a troll for a couple hours. My fishing confidence is at an all time low at the moment after drawing blanks so many times recently that I think Im cursed. If I get a mackie Ill be over the moon and if I scored a double like you did Beau it may overtake the birth of my girls as the highlight of my life!
