I hit the gardens both saturday and sunday this week and heres what happened.....
I left a bit late on saturday and ended up picking my mate up at about 1.30pm.....finally hit the water at about 4 after an hours drive, a stop for bait and a 30 minute walk to the spot.......my mate threw out a prawn and i threw out a weighted pilchard for a flatty and tried prawn on my other line for whatever was down there then sat back and hit relaxation mode...after 15 minutes i hear this voice saying they want to go in about an hour, so i laugh and turn to my mate thinking he had just made one of his trademark crap jokes but he was serious....so after all that we end up staying there for only an hour with a few decent bites all because i have a mate who is and doesnt like fishing but still agress to come......
Sunday was a different story altogether......my fishing buddy and i woke up at 4am and set off for another crack(for me) at the popular point at the gardens....we arrived at about 7am and threw in a floating pilli rig, 2 prawny pananosta rigs, some cungy on a hook and a couple of lures....nothing happened for hours and then i had a hit.....it wasnt much but here is what i caught(this is my first attempt at posting a pic), i think it is a rubberlipped morwong which is my first and it weighed just under 2 pounds(i have big hands or maybe my $6 scales told me lies).....the fillets tasted ok even though it was a bit ....
So over all the weekend was a good one because i caught my first one of those and i learnt not to go fishing with mates who just arent as keen as myself......
peace
