Report on-board Bessie Vee
The Bess had her first shark trip of the year on Sunday 21st August, with six fishing. Weather was fine, so pushed out to 16 miles, where we started the drift. Within 10 minutes of getting the lines away, we had our first blue on line, which managed to swim round and bite through the main line, so not a great start!
However, before being able to re-rig the rod, we had another run resulting in a clean hook-up, this one a 50lb-er.
Once all six rods were back out, and we thought we had time for a cuppa, we had three on at once. Luckily, one dived deep, one went forward and one went aft, so we were able to play all three at once. No whoppers, (30 - 40lb), but good sport.
The day went on to produce another ten blue shark, the best of which was battled and caught by Guy (see pic). Fourteen blues on one day set the record number for the Bessie Vee - so far! The same group will be back next month to try again.
