G'day raiders,
I've been blessed enough to get the last 3 days to fish the bay.
First trip, I took a fellow raider out simmo2 and his partner for a great day on the water. Nothing worth mentioning other than a big ray that took to simmos line. It was as least good to his his rod bent. I managed a few smallish bream on live nippers. But was really wanting that Jew to show up.
The next day went for a flick with my mate and christened my new yak and managed a few tailor and a pike a SP's and was pretty excited.
Just to prove it was no fluke I hit the water today, and what a gorgeous day it was!
Using only SP's again I managed to get myself amongst the fish again. First was an ok size flathead.
Now feeling a bit more confident I took my little mate with me. He loved it on the water and was my lucky charm as I then caught a flounder. This is definitely a first for me.
Then I changed to a Berkley gulp nuclear chicken which resulted in a whiting, yet another first.
All fish were released, ready to fight another day!
Rather than take the yak off the car with a wonderful afternoon it was, my wife and I picked the kids up from school and thought we'd give them a go of the yak!
Well, within 15mins they had caught all three species I did but on a mixture of bait and SP's
So, sitting back here now sipping a quiet ale, watching the boys still out there fishing, I'm thinking what a magic place I live in!!
As for fishing with SP's, I'm now convinced they can actually catch fish. So I have to thank nbdshroom for his constant reminder and never wavering persistence that I should try SP fishing.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers scratchie!!!
