aussie big bob Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Hi fellow raiders This is my first report a bit late but its here now Headed out for a day on the bay, day starts at 3am Campbelltown arrive at boat ramp 4.30am. The day was not looking promising, but launch the boat anyway. first stop is yarra for some livies sat there for 3 hours for only 1 small yak. Next stop moll point sat there for approx 2 hours for zip Buy this time the weather was looking even shitter, but this was not to stop me so up anchor and off to the wide-open sea. This was a stupid move as it was even shitter out there so head back to the north head to try some trolling with my Scottie downrigger which my friend encouraged me to go and get Out of the carboard which it has been living in for the past year or so ( if he does this again he wont be my friend for long ) well the down rigging did not last very long due to a number of things, so after a small hissy and 1 charter special, 1 maple 7 to 15kg rod and one Scottie downrigger less I head back into the bay to try a few drifts this went on for a few hours for only 1 just legal flat head 36cm So with only about 1 and a half hours of light left it was decided to head back it to wide-open sea. Headed out of the north head approx half a click with weather still not the best but down to the bottom goes the baits just hit the bottom and first descent fish is on its way to the boat (flathead )so hope are up but for nothing more over the next hour or so, so back to the ramp 6.30pm Edited April 6, 2007 by MallacootaPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoshe Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) G'day Bob and a big to the site. Sounds like your outing wasn't as you expected, but that's fishing I guess. We all get days like that but the gooduns sure make up for the bad ones. To post pics...try this link Posting Pictures If you are still having trouble...email them to me and I'll whack 'em up for you. The secret to posting that most people have problems with is to keep the size below 50kb per pic. or thereabouts. You can resize your pictures with most programs you already have in your 'puter. Drop me a PM if you have probs mate. Cheers, Pete. Edited April 6, 2007 by MallacootaPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
