People:myself and my dad

Duration:3 to 7

Tide:dropping rising

Weather:ok

Bait:frozen mac

Rigs:tope rigs

Results:tope dogs

Report:had been promising my dad id bring him out for ages to get his first tope, so we decided to give the annual trip a go,,, got to the mark and dropped down with the frozen bait ( never again will i) dog after dog after dog destroyed the bait on us an in no time we were running out
it was so bad my dad reeled in 3 dogs on a one hook rig

eventually a tope struck, and it was hillarious watching my dad struggle away but was also delighted to see him finally get in,,,
5 to 10 mins later and the tope was landed,,, and my poor dad had enough after the struggle with that guy,
we went home happy,
was nice to be beaten by him to as i got no tope




also seen this guy ( i presume it is a tope just patrolling the area)

Nice tope well done that man.

Yappo

good stuff denis great when a plan comes together.

was down there yesterday managed 7 species on the boat. not a sniff of a tope went un prepared with no macks hoping to pick a few up early for bait and settle in for a bit of tope action boy what a mistake couldnt even find many whiting got a few macks on the way in after trying for hours for them spent most of the day jigging i said never again well i mean until next time during the week.
