G'day raiders!!
Have had a few messages of late from a few raiders heading up to the lovely port stephens!
Due to work commitments was way for the start of the week but managed to take a fellow raider out this arvo Hunter111. With the promise of showing him a few spots to take his children out too, the pressure was on, nah no pressure, fellow raider they understand its fishing.
Ok..... So with pride on the line, we headed straight to my goto spot. Wind, weather and tide good. And what a relief, the fish decided to play ball. After I boated 5 in a row and the fish making me look good, it was time to live upto my promise of 20 in an hour. Hunter111 then was into the action and it was constant for the hour, with 5mins to go the count was 18, so needed to more. We managed the next 2 but was about 2mins outside the hour mark. Not bad!!!
Then to my Jew spot!!! All signs were looking promising except for a kayak drifting in my spot! So after waiting for him to move, out went the pick. For the first hour we had a couple of pickers, a soapy to 35cm but still waiting for that tide change. With limited bait and time running out the big gun goes zzzzzzzzz, picked it up......O. Damn it. The 5mins later, zzzzzzzzzz waited set the hook, yeah, yeah I think........noooooooooooooo the braid caught around the motor. As I was trying to release the line it released the fish. Damn it!!! Time to head home, but a great arvo's fishing with a fellow raider and he took home a feed, found some new spots. All good.
Sorry no pics was too dark when we got in!
Cheers scratchie!!!
