Couple of firsts
Took my boat out for my first go at deep dropping today and stopped in at a couple of fads. Caught my first dolphinfish on one the fads and seen 2 or 3 landed in other boats, not alot of action but I was happy to have ticked that one off. Then we had a go at bottom fishing, hard work winding up 1kg of lead from 200m+ but it was pretty exciting to get a bait down that deep. Sounded up some likely ground, dropped 2 rods down and as soon as they hit the bottom they loaded up. Half way up we dropped the larger fish but the other one stayed on and up came an 8 Bar Cod, albeit a small one. Thinking we'd cracked the code on the first drop we redrifted a few times for countless green eye sharks and a couple of deepwater flathead. Tried a few other spots but just caught more greeneye so called it a day.
