Scratchie

That's it peter! It's an old prawn trawler and it has separated. Depth varies between 8-14m. I hear the western side in the hole is good for Jew! cheers scratchie!!!

Nice one short! Best time of year to be out and about fishing whether it be from the stones, beaches, ocean or estuary! Cheers scratchie!!!

No rick...don't often use bait when I fish with Dom! And for 2-3 hours saves a lot of cleaning!

G'day raiders, Just another quick report. Headed out Friday arvo with mate Dom in search of a few snapper. Conditions were far from ideal with a 15-20 knot ssw wind and seas at times pushing 2m but we found a spot to hide and drift with the aid of a sea anchor. Casting sps with the wind at our backs helped cast a mile but we struggled at first to find any willing takers. A few tweaks to our weights and managed to find some bait and the fish started coming! Not the biggest snaps but still enough for a feed in trying conditions! I also caught a weird looking trevally that has been identified already on the aquarium section. (Cotton mouth trevally) Yesterday I also had reports of solid reds chewing there heads off up Broughton Island. Looks like snapper season has started early up here! Tight lines, cheers scratchie!!!

Lol......I meant I can tick that off my shit list! Ive caught a few of them fish!

Are they common to port Stephens? Never seen one before!

Hopefully I'll be doing the same thing with team scratchie! Houseboat and a lovely weekend on the hawksbo!

Thanks fellas! It was about 35cm and a really slimy bugger as I threw it back in! Oh well, that's another one off the list! Cheers scratchie!!!

Yeah, the head itself looked like a bigeye. I don't know!

Caught this in Port Stephens this afternoon. Some sort of trevally? Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice haul. It's great when the fish play ball!!! Cheers scratchie!!!

What an awesome effort and a great photo to match! Cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome fab! Great time out with the family and you got to take home some fish as a bonus! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

They all taste like flathead to me ?

Not the usual mixed bag there yowie! But a feed of flathead are better imo anyway! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

And they were still there this morning...... Gave the sambo to a tourist and kept the bonnie to try sashimi. Not keen but I'll give it a try!

I hope for your sake to BN. The saltwater fishing has been going off in the past week with perfect conditions. It's funny the tail of two woes! Hopefully they play ball for you soon mate! Cheers scratchie!!!

Great stuff Baz! Good to see you out and about. The Bonnies are really thick up here at the moment, which is great to see as we seem to have better fishing when they are! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Fantastic eating fish and go like the clappers once their hooked! A good one that size feeds my whole family! We catch them regularly up here and they generally fall victim to a pinned crab from the stones! cheers scratchie!!!

How's it going up there mate? My son heading up that way tomorrow!

Couldn't help myself and took Jnr off the stones for a quick throw this arvo!!! He's been complaining he hasn't heard a reel scream for so long.....here you go son!!!

Nice catch there penguin! Even better to see the smile on the young fellas face! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Nice rick! Looks like you found a few tinnies too! Haha I love an arvo session at Broughton! Probably more productive than early morning! Keep the reports coming champ! Cheers scratchie!!!

Wow!!!! Sign me up for one of those sounders!

Happy birthday champion! Love the shoes! you should have worn your purple ones! Looking fab you two! Cheers scratchie!!!
