Ran over to the island after Joe-honey girl had a couple of great trips. Left MB at AM Monday, had a nice smooth ride over...Sure wish i had that new motor.. Wanted to give the flatties a shot for a couple of hours before setting up for the wsb. My guests rod went bendo and he pulled in a nice #17 his personal best, he was ear to ear grin! couple of hours for nada, then it was my turn..#25 class. Joe and i talked the night before and he gave me a spot to fish that had produced for him. We metered around the area to find the best concentration of squid and set the hook. Just as the sun was setting one of the rods start to buzzzzzzz I set the hook and swing and a miss @%%#@%! Look over at my other rod and it bends in half, This one sticks....its off to the races... After a great fight we stuck the gaff....wow they pull hard!

Made some squid that night, but the seals were a big problem, but we had enough to fish with. around 4:30 they go on the chew..we lost the first one due to a wrapped line, then we get a double, both boated, i get back in the water and get lit off again. after about 5 min hook spits....that fishing!

Stuck it out for a couple more hours for nada. It was a great trip for me and it completely erased all the trips made trying to catch those guys.

Thanks again Joe....your info on that island is the only reason I caught fish....thanks brother..........zack

Nice Job Joe.

Man I'm jealous. Sounds like a fun night. Question: Are you getting the squid on squid jigs or netting them?

Way to go Zack. Looks like I made the wrong call going to work this week.

I'm headed back down to south island friday to look for my first #40 of the year.
