Had a great day out today with my Uncle Mike, Mike Burgin – my brother in law, and Stephen Rowe – my mate. We did great on the yellowtail kingfish today hooking around 20 or so reasonable sized fish. We lost a lot of these to the reefs and sharks and kept moving to try and keep away from the sharks. Eventually we got sick of the sharks and put out a whole dead bait which resulted in a 20 minute fight for me on game tackle before before the 100kg + (+ several kingfish) Bronze Whaler shark eventually broke the steel trace at the boat.
