I can delete the photos. Lol

You can also photoshop in some swell sharks and banjos so it's a bit more realistic

Good idea. I can stretch the fish to make it look like barrels. They look like milk bottles right now. Lol

Day 3.
Set off early again, ramp empty, again. (really amazed at how quiet it was).
Headed out to the rock, to be confronted by a gigantic bust up, maybe 500 Gannets, few dozen dolphins, seals, it was mental. skirted around the edge, but no joy. Made our way out to the Lighthouse, and out to the 80mtr line.
As we came up to our target, we saw a stationary boat, the guy at the back hooked up, and fighting a fish.
Our sounder lit up with mountains of bait, almost instantly, the long rigger popped and the reel screamed, shotgun and short corner both going at the same time.
Chaos lol..
Drag in the witchy and the other rods while the lads were battling 2 fish, and grabbed the other rod.
We got the 3 fish in the boat, bled, gutted and into ice slurry in no time, and reset our spread. got turned around, and bang, double hookup in no time flat.
We stayed out for a short while longer, for the outside chance of a big fish, but with cleaning the fish, cleaning the boat and the long drive back home, we quickly called it, and sped back to a very quiet ramp.
First trip, very happy, no monsters, but everyrhing went well, and we were pretty satisfied with how we all performed.
Hopefully Fc will stick some more photos up for me lol..
