    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Sat 4th August - Half day tide trip- nice bright start at 6:30 went and drifted a few different marks and picked up a few mackerel and a couple of bass too.... Had some returning customers too which is always nice to see.
    Full day drip at 10am took 7 guys out Tope fishing this afternoon lovely flat seas and sunshine too... Got the teas made and no Tope (Very odd... they normally show by now) had the first one around 10 minutes later but unfortunately it spat the bait... not to worry had another run in quick succession seems they are running with the bait and taking their time in eating it... however we landed the first fish which was 30lb and then preceeded to land 3 more... making 4 in total... seems that they are starting to get biger now and most days the bigger fish seem to feed later... biggest today was 43lb... Just waiting for a big female now which normally start showing not long from now... Lovely Fellas hope to see them again some day. Especially Mackerel Mick who's determination for jigging up Mackerel kept us in fresh bait all day - Thanks Fella :)
