Hey guys,
managed to head out to balmoral today for a few hours before the weather hit. I fished with ganged pillies for a while only o have the pickers steal the bait. I tried to catch yakkas to not avail and then decided to use some little cubed bits of pillie. Straight away i bring in a 28cm tailor. Too small but a start. It then went quiet for a while until i had another crack at the yakkas. Burleyed hard with bread, oats, pillie and cat food. Soon after i caught a little specimen and popped him in the bucket for a while. Caught 3 more which were all stolen by a pesky bird next to the wharf. Cast the yakka out under a float and left it out for an hour or so. Meanwhile i still kept trying with the yakka rig and managed to hook a 26cm trevally. This bird was crazy, it went after my trevally when i threw him back and caught it only to funble the fish andit thankfully swam away Kept going with the yakka and something was scaring it. it was constently acting finnicky and the float went under for a second and then popped up. I picked up the rod and waited to see if it was still there but the bastard had gone with my yakka Packed up and headed for home afterwords. Others on the wharf also caught yakkas and tailor and bream. All undersize though. Good to see Balmooral has a few fish though. Can't wait to give it a go again soon!
