Opppppps Sorry guys i should have posted this tomorrow night. Look at the bright side if you all catch heaps maybe i just can't fish

Hi Everyone, Got up and into it at 5am today driving to the ramp dreaming of a boat load of fish by Lunch time . No So lucky i'm afraid. Did the runway, the drums, Molineux Point, even went outside (great day for it chop wise) after all that, all 1 got was 1 slimey at the drums and 3 lether jackets all way to small. Came back in around 2:30 with nothing. Bumped into another boatie who said he had the same sort of day. I did have a really weird thing happen thought, i was outside drifting around with my boat rod out in 50m water with a 60cm wire trace (bolt cutters requied to get through that sucker) and on 4 ocaisions i lost everything on the end of the line, i litrally ran out of wire traces but no apparent bites. Q: All this happended while i was catching small leather jackets on another rod, what i don't understand is how come i was loosing 60cm wire trace and swivel, were they finding bait up the line and chewing it through. If anyone catches 4 lether jackets with wire traces in them let me know

Hi Everyone, Went out around 10am, Sat 6th from Mooney Mooney with the wife and brother in law. No problems fishing all the time when the wife does it as well. Fished under the railway bridge for about 1 hour but didn't have any luck so decided to move out to Lion island. Set up over 6m deep and dropped into a frenzy of bites, 1 keeper lether jacket straight up. everyone else seemed to be getting bites then snag like drag so i hooked up my boat rod so the next snag i can pull up whatever is grabbing on, sure enough i'm on in minutes, off it ran then bang! i'm stopped it wont budge 20 minutes later i bring up an 75cm cat fish that must have gone into some rocks for a 15min sleep. 1 more lether jacket on some slimey from a previous botany trip, a few rock cods and the day was over. not really quality fishing but its always fun. PS The wife got 1 bream but not a keeper
