FISH GOD ROCK

Back on the water again

It's been too long since I posted any fishing pictures from our boat. As you know my Suzuki 200 hp 4 stroke shit itself back in June. Of course that left me with no motor and a huge fight with my Suzuki dealer. I lost of course.
Funny how once they have your money, they just don't care anymore.
Anyways, enough whining. So I suck it up and go to the Yamaha dealer and plunk down a suitcase full of money for a new 225 hp 4 stroke.
Before the motor is installed I decided, since the boat is out of the water why not give her a once over. New bottom paint, new radio's, fix the leaky steering hydraulics, install the new gauges and so forth.
So, alas after much time in the boat garage she is launched with little fanfare, but she has a new and bigger motor on her butt and she looks good.
Of course first up on the menu is a fishing trip. Spur of the moment, out of the blue, the best kind. I tell Rosie and call up a couple of friends and away we go.
Nothing to fancy as we are still breaking in the new motor. Just some jigging on a nearby reef.
The day is nothing less than spectacular. A bit windy but still a cracker.
We head out and within 10 minutes we are at the first drop zone.
It does not take long before we are onto fish.

I was using a small Williamson Vortex jig with an assist hook.

Paul nailed this little mackerel with a Lucanus jig.

Lucanus strikes again!

Brendan, happy as pie with a light jigging rod in his hand.

And the Lucanus strikes again.

Even the small Barracuda's got in on the Lucanus action.

The wind really picked up in the afternoon. Luckily we had a sea anchor to slow our drift and we could keep on fishing.

Even the sweet lips were in on the Lucanus action.

Sti, unfortunately did not catch anything on this trip, but he did strike a few poses for the camera.

Brendan and I recapping the adventures of the day while Paul takes us home.
From First trip with the new Yamaha
We had a great day out and the motor purred like a kitten.
I can't wait to get out again.

Virgin no more

A good friend of ours named Loren, who you met in an earlier post, Great day with a mixed bag, asked if we would like to help him pick his new boat up from Suva. This pick-up would involve some fishing as well as getting the boat back to his dock. Who can pass that up?
We set the plan for an early morning departure. It is a 45 minute drive to the boat so we all pile into a taxi before dawn and head out.
There is a chill in the air but as the sun breaks the horizon our bone warm up.
From ChiChi delivery
By the time we reach the boat it has been prepped and is ready to go. Just a few last minute pointers for Loren from the builders and we are ready to go.
From ChiChi delivery
Loren's boat is a 24ft version of my boat. Very stable and comfortable to ride in if we were to run into any bad weather. That was not to be. It was mill pond flat and a real pleasure to be out on it.
From ChiChi delivery
As we left Suva Harbour there is always a plethora of sights to see everything from sunken ships to mega yachts.
From ChiChi delivery
Not forgetting to mention the Supa Blu.
From ChiChi delivery
If you have ever entered of left a large busy harbour with completely inadequate markings, then you will relate to theis image. Myself and Loren trying to find our way out of the harbour.
From ChiChi delivery
We are almost out and here is a shot of the weapons for the day.
From ChiChi delivery
Here is an awesome sailing vessel we passed on our way out.
From ChiChi delivery
Once clear of the harbour we made a bee line to some reefs that looked really fishy on the charts. I insisted that Loren take a few casts while I get to drive his boat.
With the drift set and the water looking fishy Loren and Rosie proceeded to cast poppers towards the reef. It did not take long before we all saw the strike. Loren's popper was violently taken by a good size fish. After a good fight and a couple of guesses as to what the fish was, we finally see that it is a nice Spanish Mackerel (Walu).
This was not only the first fish on the boat, but it was also Loren's first Spanish Mackerel all on the maiden voyage.
From ChiChi delivery
We fished on for a while but nothing else was biting. The weather started to look a little iffy so we decided to head home. The ride was smooth and comfortable and Loren was happy.
Here's a shot of the boat's new home.
