OSHISWET Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hi , las Thursday after constant nagging from my twin brother Marcel we fished the harbour. I didnt feel up to it as it was a cold,wet and miserable day but I stucked to my word and met him at Tunks park reserve at 6am. Rain falling we headed out to Balmoral and trolled some lures to no success. In my mind I was saying here we go again same story plenty of effort and nothing to show but I persisted and tryed to stay focussed. We then drifted from China mans beach across to the spit bridge and we caught two nice sized flounder and a flathead and the day started to look better after all. We then headed out to Middle Harbour and then out to the wedding cakes (sorry I meant weeding cake) I just could not believe my eyes the western wedding cake was goooone. It just goes to show you how long its been since my brother and I took the boat out .How could this be, something so prominant just gone. We saw some gulls working the surface near the temporary marker and we trolled CD7s and CD9s to no avail. We then tried some stickbaits and poppers and still nothing. Finally we anchored and dropped in a line and within seconds my brother caught a beautiful 65cm kingie on a prawn bait wich was safely landed into the net. It ended up being a top day out we both enjoyed ourselves and I can assure you that we will not be away from our harbour for that long again. Top site and tight lines c ya.

Sure is a shame about the wedding cake, At least some of it still acts as a fad, albeit underwater! Sounds like you guys had a great day in the end though, well done.

Look forward to more reports and pics always make it look the goods to nice kingie there and a bit of a feed with the flounder and flatty. Enjoy the site mate, check out our socials and continue to post Ben Sammy are you talking about the royal red variety? I love them for flattys and snapper - get them for $11 a kg down here in the gong which is alright. What rig would you use for a kingie on a prawn, do you fish unwaited in a burley trail or a padanoster kinda rig?
