Today we trolled Tunstall to Hutt. Picked up a real nice one fairly quick on a phat E, jolly rancher glow. Off the bottom. Then a couple hours of nothing followed up with two quick hits on a krippled kc Herring aid. A 50cm and a 65 cm. We released todays fish but took home our prawn limit in two traps.

It only took 5 years but I think I've finally convinced everyone that the black Hot Spot flasher is lights out. No wonder I can't find them on the shelves anymore lol.

Leave it up to this guy to make something good, even better.

FYI rubbing sauerkraut on flasher will increase odds

Fished Tunstall Bay and Bowen Bay this morning with no keepers to report. Did catch 2 ling cod, 1 copper rock cod and 1 just undersized chinook in 180' in Bowen Bay. High tide was around 8:45 pm. Saw a couple of other boats out trolling similar tacks yet no nets out.

Could be just a poor day of fishing or the fish have moved (or both). Marked some bait and fish but not in schools like a few weeks ago and earlier in the year. Beauty day out though. Not many mornings where you can clip along at 30 knots on the open water.

Nothing doing for me at Defence today. Only connected with two fish all day, an under and lost one behind the boat that might have been just legal. Turned into a nice day after the early cold outflow puffed itself out.
