Yellow Fin Shuffle

[choc74]

Went out looking for yellow fin again yesterday.
After quickly looking at the SST charts from Tuesday knew that there was some warmer water a little wider than Browns. We trolled from 3km inside the shelf to 10km past Browns for zilch. Pulled the lures in and starting cubing probably around 10.30am. Again patience is the biggest key to this type of fishing so cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after cube after.... anyway you get the idea. Was looking like it was going to be a quiet day, fortunately I wasn't as dispondant as the crew, when zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz we were on to the first yellowfin of the day..... After about another hour we had a 2nd then the 3rd , 4th and 5th all followed within the next 1/2 hour. The last virtually took the bait out of our hands. It had come up the trail with the 4th fish we caught and we were throwing it pillies whilst we quickly rig up another bait to toss to him about
1m from the back of our boat. Fantastic sight fishing.
All in all we had a great day except for the bruising that Black Quinnie received to a certain part of his anatomy. I think his new name is black and blue balls Quinnie. At least his wife was grateful.........:idiot:

I would love to get out this weekend but the weather forecasts have not been consistant, changing from day to day, its like they cannot make their minds up, too dangerous me thinks. Plus if that blow up that is predicted blows up anytime sooner than what is predicted, then it will be down right dangerous out there. Just checked the weather forecast again and its completely different from yesterday, now no change is predicted. They cant get it right?

Choc, did you get the fish in the arvo again? Is it a stupid afternoon bite?

We got all 5 fish between 1pm - 3pm, although 4 of them were taken between 2-3pm.
We have a little saying on our boat that between 2pm - 4pm its TUNA HOUR!!!

Hard to say what time is best though as 2 weeks ago we trolled them up at 9am in the morning. 2 weeks before that we got them from 11am - 3pm and the time before that we got 2 at 11am and nothing else until 3pm again.
I guess if you put in enough time and stick with the one trail for the whole day you have a better chance of hooking up.:beerchug:

And is Iron Chef Yongsie coming to the get together on the Hawkesbury.
who needs prizes to tempt the crowds just show these pictures in the thread and there will be no room to park the boat at the beach.
I really like a nice full plate.
Those chefs that put a little tiny dab of something in the middle of a plate with some pretty coloured syrup in patterns is not my sort of tucker.

Ta, the water looked pretty broken up out there (on the free sst's) thats why i didnt go this week, but obviously good enough for fish!
Just signed up for Seasurface anyway so hopefully it helps.
