G'day raiders,
Woke up this morning and looked outside to see a beautiful glass out and overcast conditions. Now I'm truly blessed, as I can see my favourite fishing spot from my lounge chair!
With whales going aerial in the background and my morning coffee taking affect, I thought bugger it I'm going fishing for a few hours! Just as I was about to walk out the back door, the fun police awoke and said "don't forget I'm working and you've got to mind some friends kids at 9am". Bugger!!! "Alright, I'll be back in an hour".
So I reduced the tackle bag and walked down with only 2 jig heads and 2 sp's!
Casted a few times and come up tight. Good fish, good fish and yes what I wanted, a nice snapper! Get it to the rocks and looks about 50cm, nice panny! Start to lift it up using the swell and the fish takes one more run and under the ledge, pop! Leader breaks! Grrrr, I have a few choice words to myself and re-rig and notice I only have half a foot of leader left. A few more casts and I'm on again. Definately a different fish and then I see it go arial, nice sambo! This time I don't make the same mistake and manage to bring it up for a quick photo and back it went! (Tried to get the whale in background but I'm hopeless at selfies)
Anyway, a few more casts and I packed up to make my deadline. I then realised I needed bread for brekky, so in the car and off to the shops and back home all within the hour!
I love Port stephens!!!
Thanks for reading,
Cheers scratchie!!!
P.s wife is home this arvo, so I might get a quick flick in before this front comes over
