Bermagui 26th to the 29th
My mate was on a family holiday at bermie I got a call come if you are up for it. I worked thurs night went home had a sleep left Melton at 10 to 1 in the arvo on fri rolled into bermie at 8 15 in the evening I had a good run.
Sat we hit the 12 mile bait everywhere picked up some slimies rigged up some live baits and started trolling we had one up high and one on the downrigger about 20 fathoms. We trolled and trolled nothing very promising signs on the sounder
Eventually we decided to troll skip baits to cover more water. So we rigged up some skip baits and trolled them around. Up and down the 12 mile out to the 90 fathom mark and back for nothing bait every where but no takers.
There was the bermie blue water classic on about 90 boats in the comp and I think 4 marlin caught in the day one fish a blue was 193kg
Sunday we hit the water and its blowing around 10 knots just enough to let you know you are alive same deal we found bait put livies out nothing put skip baits out nothing as a last resort we put lures on to cover more water nothing we didn't even see a marlin very disappointing. By 3 in the arvo its blowing 17knots and we give it away, back at the ramp I bumped into scott henning with his new boat a quick chat and home for tea.
Mon its blowing its guts out no fishing today a few maintenance jobs on my mates 680 haines then we put it in storage till march around 5 weeks and I will be back at bermie with my boat to give it another crack.

That current just wouldn’t let up eh?!
We had 4 fish up on Friday, including a triple hook up but managed to lose em all, was a tough weekend

True Scott with the wind as well it was tough. My mate hooked up to 2 Thursday when he rang me both on lures. He had a mate and his son with him trying to get their first marlin at least the young lad was on the fish for 30 mins now he and his dad are even more determined they will be back in march as well

Non stop no need to fuel up and once over the border there is only one speed camera clearly marked, it was very quiet on the road most traffic turned to the lakes as I went straight on to Bruthen. As I drove home today in convoy with 3 vehicles NSW no cops 1 fixed camera VIC 2 highway patrol and 3 speed cameras of course it’s for safety not revenue raising.canned_tuna wrote:Thats unfortunate...Bermi in 7 and a bit hours you must have had a sensational run :cheers:
