Good work Chris. A nice mixed bag, with a good sized blue spot and a couple of kingies. The mongrel toads still about.

Thank you, the reddie at that size was good eating - 2 nights of feeds. Does not sound good for down south.

Very nice jew there Rob. You are happy when they come up around that size.

Thank you. Don't often catch them that size in Bate Bay.

Well b.n., most of us will catch the covid bug at some stage, and gain some natural immunity from it. As for the fishing, you did well with a mixed bag, enjoyed that part of your holiday at least. You are now ready for another adventure. 😂

Thanks Zoran. Certainly happy with the red.

Thanks Rob. Would have been happy with only the reddie.

Thanks b.n. Cut off the fillets, then in to steaks. Probably pan fry with some addatives for flavouring, some to be frozen for later.

Thanks Chris, very happy with the reddie. The bonnie was going hard too. Swallowed the circle hook but not bitten off.

Headed out this arvo with my fishing mate to Bate Bay, his usual spot. No trags today, however, the pike were there instead. Caught a couple of slimies, so kept them for strip baits. Floated out a strip bait, the bonnie grabbed it. My biggest one at 57cm. Tried another floating strip bait, and the reddie grabbed it. Several fast runs, thought a kingie at first, then a change in fighting tactics, then the red colour under the boat. My equal best at 63cm. For burley we used chopped up slimey bones and the heads and shells of cooked king prawns. I had to eat something while I was fishing away! A bit of reef rubbish biting, then at half dark, the tailor came on the bite. The biggest at 48cm, and my mate kept on getting bitten off before he landed a few. Most released, we could have filled a tub there were so many swimming about. Mate also pulled up a few slimies bigger than 40cm, good sized ones on the bite. Schools of sea garfish swimming about the boat, which probably attracted the tailor to the boat. I managed to scoop up 2 gars, the others swam/jumped out of the net. Headed home as we had enough for a feed. Very happy with the reddie.

Very nice Rob, you have been finding a few flatties just recently.

Green toads.

Good when a plan comes together Bob, and the fish bite. The reddie is a good eating size

A good days fishing, a mixture of fish, plenty of fun to be had. Don't think a crab grabbed the yakka, they usually inflict more damage than that. A fish of some sort.

Very nice there Rob. No complaints about those. As the rain drifted over - I saw it on the radar - I wondered who would be lucky enough to be out there in the rain? Now know it was you. 😁 You are having a fish, then the sky dumps onto you, not much you can do. The worst is when you see lightning flashing down, hear the big bangs then realise the storm is right over the top of you.
