    PORT STEPHENS - EMERGENCY UPDATE

    in The Bar

    Posted

    Plenty of roads closed up here. A lot of people have lost a lot. My house was boarder on flooding but was averted. The SES dug a trench to avoid anymore houses in our street from being flooded (2 already)

    But my family is safe  although we are pretty much house bound! 
     

    cheers scratchie!!!

    That road will be closed for several weeks, I think, so I’ll have to go the long way around. No short cuts! 😂Incidentally, that road and causeway were not installed by council apparently. The road never joined up until landowners on either side built the small causeway and put a rough road over it. So I’m told anyway.
    Good idea re the bottled water. We have a plumbed fridge with ice maker and water dispenser. Would the filter handle that brown water do you reckon? I assume the ice cubes I currently have in my whiskey were made earlier in the day...? 🤷‍♂️

    At least you’ve got another excuse not to go fishing Baz! 🤣🤣🤣

    I dare say, the fishing will be shut down up here for the next few weeks. 
     

    We’ve had two house completely flooded in our street. My house averted disaster by about an hour! 
     

    Not looking forward to the next couple of days, with the forecast peaking on Saturday. Let’s hope their wrong as usual 🤔

    Port Hacking - a bit quiet

    The fish have definitely shut down this week. The water up here 19.2 has turned over and very cold compared to last week. (24.4) 

    I find when that happens suddenly they get lock jaw. But you still managed something for the table champ! With all this rain it might be a while before it fires up again! 
     

    cheers scratchie!!!

    great to hear your mate picked up a Spanish Mackerel 😎, bet that went down a treat & they hang around for a while longer 🤞

    Cheers mate! Hell of a session. I’ll take that any day. Spanish Mack make the best fish burgers ever!

    As usual you go fishing up at Broughton and later that day up go pictures of big Snapper and other by-catch. Well done. 🙂

    Thanks Gordo. I do put a lot of time and effort into catching them.

    Nailed ‘em again Scratchie, great report and good feed. Average weather conditions can often produce great days of fishing.

    Thanks Bob. Love choppy conditions for snapper. Then obviously the other fish are competing too! Makes for a good session 🤙

    So many different species you have caught at Boughton maybe a Cobia will jump on the line for you there soon. 

    Thanks champ! I’ve lost so many fish in the last 3 trips too. One of them was bound to be a cobia! 😩 One day 💪

    regards, Toby

    Thanks Toby. 23.8 degrees on the day. Hoping this N/E doesn’t roll the water over!

    Good stuff , one of those years when they come a long way down! staying connected when you dont have wire is the tricky bit!

    Thanks Paddy. Yes pretty unbelievable he never got bitten off but it was hooked perfectly on the corner of the jaw and he maintained constant pressure. Guess you win some sometimes. Cause over the last 3 trips gees we’ve lost some good fish!

    Great work there Scratchie. Sounds like one of those unbelievable days, when things look crap, BUT, everything falls into place.

     Great bag of fish again, good feeds coming up, with a bonus spanish. 👍

    Cheers Yowie! It was the perfect crap weather for catching fish. My ideal conditions for the island and the fish turned it on! 🤙

    Are you suprised the spanyard was caught on a snapper stick or just suprised to catch a spanyard this far down the coast because I am on the later 😲

     

    Looks like a fun day out in Scratchie land :biggrinthumb: 

    Both KC. Catching a Spanish on a plastic at Broughton Island would be a very rare club!

    When can I expect my Spanish fillet? is it "in the mail"?

    Haha! You’d have to fight my whole family first 🤣

    Another great report, Jeff! You do put in the effort! 😎 I was hoping to head out tomorrow but it looks like it’ll be blowing 17-20 knots from the NE.... and that’s the end of my holidays! 🤷‍♂️

    It was supposed to blow that this morning. I just made the decision that I’m going no matter what! The island is on fire Baz, get up there!
