Dolmo Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Happpy Australia Days Fellow Fishers. Well i woke at around 3am and got orgasnied and we headed down to Lilli Pilli Baths around 5am....settled in for the first hour and the bait fis started to do abit so out went the lure.....got a nice bonito and had a few kingies and bonito follow him back in....few more cats and the school had gone so contined to flick it in and out and then big hit and off went my new 4000 symetre and it was a nice kingy unfortunately for me was 56cm so no kingy on the BBQ today (my first landed kingy though and im stoaked!!!) Another amount of time went by and saw 2 or 3 bonnies swim past and had another go and got a nice one which went back also. Im going to have to get a boat so i can stay with them as they are only around for 10 to 15mins it seems. Nothing else exciting really, a numb ray and not alot more, although i was targeting fish on the lure. It was a very nice moring, fairly cold, crysal clear water, and flat as a tak! Hope some more of you got out any enjoyed the fishing this morning and had your aussie flags waving around proud!! Cheers, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that, seen a school of Salmon come up a few times.They were there for a max of 30 minutes. They were schooling around around 50 metres out from the last post of the baths, just far enough so you couldnt cast near them. Some blokes came along on a boat and absolutley cleaned up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
