Nice one Peter, how were the conditions? I’m heading out tomorrow. Woodsy

Very nice looking Flatty, that would of been a nice fight on the light line. Woodsy

Thanks @61 crusher, it was freakish the amount we were catching and such a top day

Good work Scratchie and Tyrone, sounded like another great day at Port Stephens Woodsy

Bloody unbelievable and Great day out Scratchie, it was great seeing Brandon get his Snapper and keeping me laughing most of the day, I couldn’t believe I would end up feeling sore from catching to many fish. Did you feed jnr last night or starve him like he did to you by forgetting your food for the day. Woodsy

Hope the tested her chef skills out on them. Woodsy

Nice work Peter, hope you enjoyed the family trip Woodsy

Great afternoon in Port Stephens well done Woodsy

Hey Baz I Wanted to send you a private message but you must have it on private do you wanna see if you can change the settings Woodsy

Thanks Dieter Yeah it felt longer then 3 months and really good meeting you and the other fellas and 2 ladies at the meet up as well. Woodsy

Thanks Peter On Monday Willy weather was saying it was supposed to be a 2m swell but it wasn’t even close and the wind predictions weren’t right either sometimes they are way off the mark. Let me know next time your going up and we might be able to meet up. Woodsy

Thanks and I didn't see any sign of it

Haha lucky he can fish.

Pretty chunky fish there, well done. Woodsy

Thanks Big Neil

It definitely was torture. It was a beautiful sunrise and that is another great thing about fishing seeing beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We definitely stuck at it Yowie. We may need to add the word perseverance to Scratchie’s saying about the 6 p’s, prior planing and preparation prevents piss pour performance Woodsy

Thanks @jnrfinatic Thanks mate, Yeah it was like that yesterday, we really had to hunt for them Woodsy

Hi wcurrall we were just gunna get some slimmies, it wasn't to important as we intended to throw plastics but we normally put a livie out. Is your spot out around Boondelbah Island and Little Island or somewhere else. Woodsy

Thanks Blackfish and baz That could be something I could try. Well that's interesting

No fishing for nearly 3 months while my boat was In getting some work done on it. It was hard specially when we normally go out every week or 2 and I have Scratchie messaging me pictures of fish he is getting and how good the conditions are and asking if my boat is ready yet. So finally the plan was to meet Scratchie at little beach at 5.30, I couldn’t help myself I got there about 4.50am got the boat ready and then waited for Jeff. The wind was blowing a bit harder then was predicted we headed out to our first stop to get some some bait but 20mins of searching and trying we couldn’t get any. So off to Broughton we go, we pulled up at our first stop had a small drift and realised we weren’t really on the right ledge so moved just a very small distance started drift then bang like normal Scratchie is on and it looks ok (I must say it was netted perfectly haha, you get a lot of practice netting while fishing with Scratchie) it was in the 60’s range. Another drift and I get a small one just legal then nothing at all so a move to one of our spots that usually pays off, 5 or 6 drifts and dozens of plastic changes and not even a hit, so off we go again to a new spot that Scratchie wanted to try where we got a few hits but couldn’t bring anything in. So we moved again to another 3 spots the bait board was filling up with all the different plastic we were trying. So we got to the last spot and had 1 drift for nothing we shifted over a little bit for another and I put on this tiny little beaten up plastic prawn ( only the size of a Hawkesbury school prawn)threw it out and bang it was screaming off a little bit of a fight and in it came a 70s model so we had to have another drift now then off course Scratchie loads up again for another 60s model and we called it a day. I couldn’t count how many casts and plastic changes we made today and moves to different spots to try and track down the fish what a great day Woodsy

I really like your photos Woodsy
