Soth west deep drop
Submitted by Patto 1 on Mon, 2013-12-23 17:52
Hi all ,managed to get out today for my first real go at deep dropping ,after previously trying with only manual wind and strong currents against us,so armed up today with a couple of electrics and had a decent crack at it and rewarded ,weather was absolutely awesome and sounder run a dream .

Nice mixed bag
Top effort there. Looks like a nice mixed bag of bass grouper, blue eye and hapuka.
