We had a very nice today. An inshore trolling run resulted in a few bonito just near the mouth of Port Hacking. Then off to the offshore grounds for reef fishing. It was a little slow but lots of mackerel under the boat. We kept about ten or so and then pulled up the anchor & …
Anzac day is a public holiday in Australia and we had an opportunity to go fishing. The forecast was within the range we were looking for. But unfortunately the westerly wind arrived early and we had to come in from the FAD and work closer to the coast line for calmer water a …
The weather forecast and ocean condition predictions are often hard to read. The various web sites present different scenarios and it’s a matter of picking the average and add our local knowledge. Yesterday was a tough day at the office with a 2 to 3 metre north easterly sw …
Yes, it was a very mixed day with reef fish and bonito. After very strong winds earlier in the week, rock fishing and surf warnings were issued. But offshore the conditions were fine with long rolling swell. We had a mixed team onboard with Ben from South Korea, a few locals …

To me it was a tough day at the office; the forecast was good but reality different. We picked up a few mahi mahi at our inshore FAD and then proceeded to the Port Hacking FAD about 12 nautical miles offshore. We found a confused sea, short and sharp waves and wind increasing …
Jana has been onboard with us a couple of times and again showed her fishing skills. We had a good day with kind sea conditions. Strange how it is, we fished the reefs for more than an hour, fish on the sounder and no takers. Other than a small sergant baker! So we switched t …
We had another great day today with wonderful sea conditions and being out to the NSW Fisheries FAD, also a fish trap float and then the continental shelf. Unfortunately we didn’t catch the big ones, the guys throw back perhaps a half dozen dolpin fish under 60 cm. On t …
