The key approach was to start 
the Yamaha quietly and return to 
position without alarming the fish, 
allowing us to work the shallows 
by casting.  Once the sun emerged, 
Geoff prepared the drone for flight 
while I drove to capture high-
quality images of the Game Fisher.
The 770 XL is a serious offshore 
boat for those big adventures and 
has an under-floor fuel tank that 
holds 400L, with water ballast of 
530L. With all the impressive tech 
and amazing extras fitted on this 
prize boat, the fortunate winner will 
fall in love with it and dream of all 
the possibilities the boat will provide.
Just make sure you drop in to the 
Auckland Showgrounds from the 
14th – 17th May, you must be there 
to enter and win it.  Good luck!

a 70cm snapper on just his second 
cast at the Rurima Islands.
