Went for a run with Fraser today chasing trevs.  First stop on the way out and Fraser was straight into the sashimi with a little striped tuna to start with.  A few smallish Mack-tuna followed before Fraser's day took a turn for the worse.  Once at the spot he managed to find a few fish, it was just the catching that proved difficult.  First a few follows and missed hookups.  Well everyone has bad luck.  Next a couple of solid hookups followed by bustoffs.  Ouch.  Even more upsetting was the cause, apparent knot dodgyness.  Back to knot-tying school with you Fraser!

My side of the boat was much nicer.  Firstly I managed to subdue a solid critter on my home-made stick-bait (which made a mess of the paintwork unfortunately). 

Then changed to a Carpenter and got a couple more. 

Was a pretty slow day overall, with quite a few casts between fish.  The current was surprisingly hard to find (considering the big tides) which added to the difficulties.

Anyway, a few pics
