Hi Fishraiders, hope everyone is well. so yesterday I headed out around middle harbour with @DerekD as he was kind enough to take me through how to fish for black fish. The day started pretty slow with not much interest from the blackfish, just as we were about to head to another location the float finally went down and I was on to a nice blackfish. We decided to stick around for abit longer and see if we could land a few more fish and this is where it started to get interesting…. I was on to my third blackfish of the day when a hurngry kingfish came charging past to see what was going on. We noticed a few bust ups around us throughout the morning too so @DerekD said I think you should get a soft plastic out and try your luck, so I did. I grabbed my little 7ft spin rod and tied on a large pink slug-go on a 1/2 jig head and started working the area. On my 4th cast I had a massive hit followed by some big head shakes and line zipping off the real. After a great fight on the light gear the fish was finally close enough to see what it was, ITS A JEWFISH!! Or as Derek said it’s the HOLLY GRAIL aha. Poor Derek then had to run to the car to grab the net which was at the top of a large flight of stairs. He was also kind enough to grab his camera too and once we landed the fish he took some great pics for me. After some pics and a measure (80cm) it was released safely. I then continued to work the area and was soon on to another fish a 30cm tailor which hooked himself through the belly. I released the tailor but unfortunately for him not long after a big bust up happened right where I released it which we suspected was a kingfish. With the thought of catching my first kingfish racing through my head I kept on going. finally the moment I’ve been waiting for… a big hit and line stripping off the reel I was on to king fish. After a a brutal fight and trying to keep the fish away from every piece of structure it went for, which was pretty much all around me I finally landed my first king fish and at just over 65cm it was a legal size too. what a crazy session!! My first jewfish and kingfish, both legal size and all on the light gear it was so much fun. I’m having trouble uploading some of the photos so I’ll attach them tomorrow once I figure it out. Thanks again @DerekD an amazing day and great memories

Hi fish raiders! Thought I would post my first fishing report. I’ll also do a post soon on my learnings so far for anyone that’s looking get into lure fishing. I’m still very fresh to it myself but I’ve been fortunate to have @DerekDshow me the ropes. so last night on my way home from work I thought I would pop down mosman bay to practice some casting and some of the techniques Derek has shown me. I had 30 mins before dark and in that time I managed to land 2 fish (flounder and a flat head) and unfortunately lost 2 flat head right at the wall before I could land them. I was using a 3” gulp grub in pumpkin seed twitching it along the bottom with a decent pause in between. Great fun on the light set up and happy to finally be catching fish 😂

@Little_Flatty think I might of seen you mate I popped down for 30 mins before dark for a quick bit of fishing. Seen you land the bream. I was fishing just down from you closer the the wharf
-
@Little_Flatty no unfortunately I didn’t bring any of my gear with me I left it all back in England for when I visit. I will probably get some course fishing bits as I go though as I would love to get back into that also. I mainly fished for carp so would be interested to see what the Cato fishing scene is like here in oz

@DerekD was a great day out and loving the new outfit, so much easier to work the lures and feel all the bites. Thanks again for the recommendation Derek. had a lot of fun learning different retrievals for different lures and learning what works in different situations. Derek is a fantastic teacher and his passion for fishing is infectious. really happy to get my first few fish on the lure and tick off 2 Australian species. Picked if the first flounder on the vibe and another flounder and flat head on the 3” minnow. Thanks again for showing me the ropes @DerekD and thanks for everyone’s reply’s. Was unable to attach a photo for some reason but I’ll figure it out soon.
