Went out with Greg Joyce yesterday for a perfect day chasing yellowfin and mako sharks. The conditions were perfect, 21degrees swell less than 1 m, a light breeze early that dwindled off to almost glassy conditions. After getting there we were into a 30kg yellowfin within 30 minutes, shortly after a double hookup with another at 30kg and one at 26 or so. as you can imagine we were all pretty stoked. No more yellowfin however. not long after we spotted a couple of mako sharks on the surface and sent down a stripey, seconds later I was on. somehow i had him to the boat in a matter of minutes, we traced him, then he woke up, twice he was completley out of the water, before he headed down, 30 or 40 minutes later I finally got him back to the top. Greg estimated him to be around 200kg.......Awesome day.:whattha: :coool: :headbang:

Well done fella's & greg for putting you on e'm.
Hey Kris thought you were moving to qld because the fishing was better:rolling laughter: the number of Y/Fin iv'e seen & heard of from 20 upto 80 kgs in the last few weeks, then throw in the sharks & beakies just starting to fire up now, says fishing down sydney way is in pretty good shape!

Well done guys.

Good fish and top effort goes to Greg, cause without him it probably would have been a slow day.

Cheers

There were a few sharks about too when kris got his mako, and one looked twice as big as his!!!
