MGibbo Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Went for a quick Friday night fish down the hawkesbury at Brooklyn tonight. Picked up a pizza on the way and enjoyed dinner on the water as we cast our lines out. Had two really great fish on but with pizza's in one hand and trying to reel in with the other failed to successfully land whatever it was in the boat. My 7 year old had an awesome weight on his rod but lost it just before the top. Next two bites were a Port Jackson Shark and a undersized jew - gave a bit of a buzz though. After that not a thing - not even a nibble, so we decided to head home and try again another day as the kids were well and truly past it. Got to say the moon and stars were awesome on the water tonight - give me that atmosphere any day/night. Cheers Marg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGibbo Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Sounds like a great night Marg , we really should be making the most of these warm nights !!! Ross Would loved to have stayed out for the change of the next tide - I'm looking forward to going out again during the week without kids even though I do love encouraging them to get into fishing, if the fish aren't biting their enjoyment doesn't last for long. With all these undersided jews around the Hawkesbury, surely we have to strike pot luck soon. I wonder how long it takes a jew to grow to a decent size as they are such a beautiful looking fish and feel great to reel in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riders Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Marg there is nothing better than sitting back fishing the hawkesbury on dusk with a cold ale or two as you wait for that elusive jew. good luck cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolan Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Nice report Gibbo, especially the bit where you thank me for looking after your kid. Here are you , out there on a beaut night, and i'm at a sleep over with 3 young girls and 3 young boys. Educating them as to how many feet per second a 243 hollow tip travels was not my ultimate bed time story! (I think I scared the girls more than the boys!) Laugh it up kiddo, Stumpster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
