Trip 7 saw the return of long time Thunder 1 fishers, Doug, Nick, Phil and Andrew. With Andrew planning the work, Phil working the plan, and Nick ever vigilant we headed off on what was sure to be a trip full of laughter and great comradery. Picking up a couple of nice springs the first night we jumped on our weather window to head off shore for some hali fishing. What a day it was with constant action on the rods, sometimes three on at once. Releasing the smaller ones we selected some fat chickens for the cooler and left the hali fishing with some sore arms. The best was yet to come after we anchored up for dinner out came the jigging rods and just when you least expect it wham! a fifty pound halibut whacks the jig in 30 ft of water. A great fight on a light rod and a perfect end to a great day, good job Phil.
With a nice brace of Springs, and some shiney Coho as well we reluctantly said goodbye to one of our favourtie groups. Tight lines guys, hope to see you again soon.
