Mahia Pelagic

[tim]

Adam and I went out for a scout to see what a Mahia Pelagic could be like, we got out as far as 10km off Portland Island in 2meter + swell.
We were only in 70 meter deep water and were planning on 600+ if the sea swell wasn't to rough.
So not too bad with 6 confirmed albatross and 2 possibles plus there could have been more if we went further out.
