Managed to score a trip out with a mate in his boat.. a 7000 series Markham Dominator fitted with 2 brand new 150hp Yamahas.. (300hp)

So the location to head was east.. and when we hit 42 nautical miles offshore.. we were where we wanted to be.. and proceeded to fish for a bit, heres a couple of the better ones... i was too stuffed really heh.. too much fishing.. and not enough sleep.. by the time we got back to the ramp we had been out fishing for 29hrs and i had been awake for 43hrs

That looks too hard Tim Go to bed!!

Now there's some great fish. Hopefully your hard work and effort will keep you fed for a few weeks.

They are not crap pictures. Clear day on blue ocean with big fish. Its a great combo. My god they are huge fish.

Good composure and great colour.

Do you have a SB-600/800? I think a bit of fill with the diffusion dome could have helped lift the faces a bit, but thats minor. BTW... I think you've got a dust bunny in the top right in #1

edit: er, duh for me, it says right there in your sig that you have a SB800...

Great photos and excellent catch, Tim. Were those giant travelly?

Thanks
Alex

Thanks for the comments. 1st fish is a red emperor.. rest are Amberjacks and Samson fish..

Flash would of been useless, those photos were taken around midday.. so the harshness of the sun would of just thrown everything out..

Daniel, i see the dust bunny too.. he's in every pic, i call him Fuzzy Bunny.. he's cute.. doesnt eat much either

Tim

yummy and great pics too

Tim - no crap in these fine pics and the fish - wow

Everyone else got infront of the lens except for me.. well.. this was captured on a point and shoot so it'll have to do..

15kg Samson fish

Tim, these are all good shotys and i cant get over how calm it is out there for 42m out. For 1 i would have been feeding the fishies and yeh although i am not a big fish eater unless it is shark, but still well done on the pics.

Nice shots looks like you had good weather as well

BBJ.. no pics of sharks this time, next time we get a 15ft tiger stroll past ill take pics for you

Tim

hope you put a big X on the side of the boat so you know where to go back to again

Put it on the floor, looked more pemanent there..

Tim

Top stuff Tim,

you guys did pretty good for 29 hours worth of work.

Unfortunately, i cant show you everything i caught.. but if anyone knows where Morgans Seafood is, they can probably buy some of my fish

Tim
ps. I was a decky on a pro boat...

Brilliant images...but please, pop up the inbuilt flash on the D70 to lighten those shadows a tad. Try dialing in -1.3 flash output and watch the magic.
