Big Bob Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 All, Went on Charter on Saturday Morning. Arrived at Ettalong at 0545 and shortly after the boat pulled in. 16 all up a bucks party and me. Thought that this may be an issue but the Party were extremely friendly and well behaved. We went out 9 mile to the traps and first cast pulled a Dollie followed shortly after by another one(Not large but decent size). Boat had difficulty keeping us on the mark due to heavy current so we moved to a reef nearby. 300 feet to the bottom with a large Snapper lead in tow. Proceeded to deminish the Leather Jacket population over the next few hours and despite 2 moves to different areas they were thick as. Tallylots of leatheries and 2 Dolphin Fish and Bucks party much the same with 2 lovely Blue Spot Flatties,2 Mowies a tailor and a large Salmon with half an esky of Leatheries. The rate that the Jackets were coming in I felt sorry for the Charter captain and mate as they cleaned and skinned each one. All in all a good day but not a lot of variety. I would have killed for a legal Snapper but my only catch went 27 cm and back to grow for next time. Got a feed for the wife and myself so alls good. See Ya Big Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rzep Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Good to hear that you had a good day there Bob and also that the boys on the bucks party behaved then selves. A couple of dollies and some leathries is a good result. Do you have any pics of your catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
