great stuff mate. Lovely area when the swell is right.

congrats on the jewie and happy birthday!

Always nice to land a legal fish. Fortune favours the brave, well done on a solid flatty.

a solid long weekend of fishing, thanks for sharing.

Thanks @Rebel I did try some s factor. Some of the peas were being picked off and just the shells were left on the hook. Very timid bites. @Renegade460 @blaxland @Fried Rice@Yowie thanks for the kind words. The knife is sharp, I think I'm lacking the technique in where to slice. Good tip about the red blood line. I guess I need to catch more fish if I want to practice more 🤣 @Larkin pity indeed. Perhaps I need to get the play with the depth.

A bit of a late report. A coolish Sunday morning, took some cooked peas down to the harbor to try my luck for some luderick. I only had a short window before needing to get home, so was keen for a hot bite. I could see the luderick right under my feet but didn't hook up. However, did manage to catch a few undersized bream and trevally on the peas. Switched over to prawns and caught a legal trev. A massive sting ray came along and scared off most of the fish and that was all she wrote. The trev was sashimi-ed and I'm ashamed at my butchering skills. Any advice in this department would be great. It still tasted delicious! Keen for another crack at those luderick soon.

looks like those babuska dolls, but snapper edition. Great catch.

a good feed there mate!

calamari rings, yummo! Good catch mate.

great stuff mate!

well done @Rebel, still yet to try peas, keen to put that to the test.

Great report and love kingfish sashimi too. Snapper sashimi is lovely too.

nice bag of fish! great stuff mate

top notch work, definitely a few nice fillets there!

great report, it's a very interesting charter that takes you cray fishing, quite a trip! Thanks for sharing.

love a good elbow slapper

Always finding a feed, thanks for sharing!

great looking flattie! well done. Sounds like you brought a knife to a gunfight with your 20lb leader! Better luck next time

Great snapper, dinner sorted! Well done on a good day off!

well done on the flatties and bonnies. Good size

great work and that's a healthy looking bream! well done!

super report and well done on the fish! How good is watching the float disappear under the water, such a buzz!

A small tea towel/glove handy to help handle the fish or wipe your hands after handling fish. A pair of nail clippers I find particularly useful when re-rigging and much cheaper than those fancy scissors to cut line.

nice flatty on the handline, top effort.

thanks for sharing mate and persistence pays off.
