got out for a fish with my cousin and his 6 yr old son. got to the boat ramp and it was packed.
there was cars doubling up in the trailer car spots and people parking in the boat preperation
area so this made it difficult to get boat set up without blocking other people, but u have
to do what u can. so after all this we get out on the water it was a late start on the water started
fishing bout 12:30.
we get out there n while im rigging up my rod, my cousin lands himself a nice 26cm bream. this
annoyed me even more when his son gets anutha smaller bream still before im rigged up. not to
worry though i think i finally get out in the water. within 20 secs of that my cousin is on again.
this thing is a freight train, pulling line like nothing else, it starts going round the other side of the
boat so i have to then bring my line in. neway bout 5 mins later and prob 10 foot from the surface
the hook pulled from the fish and that was that.
it all went fairly quiet for bout 20 mins then the picks started small bites not enuf to even strike to.
after 10 mins of this being baited i had a go n strike i brought myself up a six spine leathjacket,
only just hooked through the skin barb of hook wasnt even in the fish. then the jackets came on
we ended up with another six spine and a fan bellied jacket. bit more time passed and alot of
tarwhine and black bream all round 20 cms. my cousin bag a whiting of 26 cms and one of 30
cms. kept the second as it was hooked in the gills.
not a bad day out on the water though. final count was:
3 leatherjackets
1 bream
1 whiting
1 big lost fish
all in all though a good day out got some fish nice weather. just want to get out again soon.
