Here we go again , I had just finished my report & went to add photos & lost the lot , so this is it .
Today was my first attempt a fishing in about 4 years, other than a couple of days at Mollymook last month with my boys, ( I did catch 2 octopus though, not much good when you don't know what to do with them).
I tagged along with Bream Buster (pinball wizard more likely) & his daughter Renee. We met up with Swordfisherman & Bails at the ramp & set off. After a little while Renee had caught a couple leaving BB & myself with empty hooks. I finally got a small flathead , followed by another . After getting snagged I rejigged & put on a half pumpkin seed bass minnow that I forgot to throw overboard , success came in the form of a nice flathead this time. much to the disscust of BB who at this stage was still fish less. After a move to the Princess Hwy bridge I caught a good size bream,( BB caught a good size bridge & a couple of boats, hahahaha).
Nothing much more for me than a few good bites , I tried a few hard bodies & a smiling Jack without any success, i didn't care as I caught the most on the boat for the day.
A big thank you goes out to Bream Buster for letting me tag along , I know it made casting hard for Renee with me sitting at the back all day but it gave us a laugh most of the time as we ducked under flying jig heads & hardbodies, Renee did manage to snag BB which was good for a laugh.
A thankyou also goes out to Swordfisherman whos constant yapping on about fishraider & fishing has given me a bit of the fishing bug, (not sure if its a good thing or not yet).
My next attempt looks like it's going to be at the flathead social in December so I look forward to meeting some of the other fishraiders.
