wasnt to far, after we got around the point we set up, think about 25mins later...

my mapping system doesnt cover portland, which i found out at portland...lol
im going to try see if i can work it out where we went as it still plotted a line that we followed..
70mt mark and parallel to land to about the lighthouse

Sounds like an awesome day. Glad you had a ripper first experience! Not often you get to head out of portland and fish in a T-shirt!

Cheers, Anth

Perfect eating size. Just the right amount of meat.

Which lures did you get the fish on? any standouts?

i bought $100 worth of lures, and most were caught on a bright colored dirty big old skirt thats looks ten years old that my mate brought..
tried the xrap 30.. not to our liking with other spreads..

was the skirted ones in bright colors worked best

we started of with 3 rods out, with skirts on 2 and xrap on end rod...
4-6kts against the grain worked best but is hard to get diver and skirt to work at same time..
after we caught and released a few, we went down to 1 rod for the rest of the day,
with only 2 of us in boat, it was best with 1 rod out..
