Had to vote for Brads

Wed, 2007-10-17 13:13

Had to vote for Brads bluebone because of two reasons.. firstly, I took the photo :)... and secondly, I've seen how difficult big bluebone are to extract from the reef so definately my pick. Fingermark is a close second, a great shot, but the degree of difficulty is nothing against the bluey.

Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!

They pull alright but they

They pull alright but they aint no where near as dirty as bluebone and they're often found in deeper water. I've caught ones in Darwin similar to Madfishers and they don't even compare with blueys.

All good

All good fish, with great stories to go with them.

Bluey for me, with fingermark close second (straight horizon might have swung it).

Barra Fishing

Wed, 2007-10-17 14:47

G'day Spess, the south westerlies cooled it off a bit which stuffed things for a while. Just recently we've had warmer, calmer weather so they should be starting to fire again. I reckon our next trip early Nov could be a bumper.

You can notice the change in seasons now it's really starting to get humid and there is some afternoon build up occasionaly.

I had to vote for the bluebone. Knowing how hard it is to catch one and reading the story it was well deserving.
