That's Fishing

Fishraiders

To all.......... that get a bit discouraged with catching

your favourite fish at times then be adventurous with your bait selection

whilst certainaly...... fresh is best............. some times go figure.

Why is it trout will wolf down power bait

yet at the same time ignore my lovely juicey worms

Whilst tuna fishing I couldn't lose a bait

whilst my mate hooked and caught a 42kg y/tuna on a lamington

yes a lamington !!!!!!!

Whilst having lunch inside of cabbage tree port stephens as a joke

we put a chicken bone on a hook attached with an elastic band

result a 5.6 kg snapper........................

Shark fishing..... had a shark come and go for 2 hrs refusing

every lovely bait presented to him.........his eventual downfall

he took a section of the carboard box the mullet came in....

none of these are unique i know......

But as they say......Thats Fishing

Cheers Warnie

Great Read Warnie

it is very weird when these things happen

like using Servo pillies they either work and work well or don,t

hi warnie great topic and well presented

i once hooked up something following a floating custard bottle.

i thought it was rather unusual when the custard bottle came along too

i quickly discovered it was tied to the custard bottle with a well seasoned leader and had a couple of old gang hooks in it too.

that ray must have had a terrific time going back and forth with the tides so i now make sure i take a litre of custard along to treat the hawks eels to a drink of banana custard too.

what a terrific site this is for everyone and for fishos like myself who are well and truly land locked by this constant indoors only weather

I found a chicken bone in a snapper too once,just wish it was 5.6kg.Also down at narooma when we go

for yellowfin,the fish that feed on the left over tuna frames are unbelievable,we walk down at night to

the jetty inside narooma inlet with a light flick stick and a few cubes of tuna,not only would you have a

ball catching bream,blurters & flathead,but would you believe we would also get mullet & even

blackfish,on tuna!mate its unbelievable,like you said thats fishin & never stop learning;

cheers,steve

Not that long ago I was fishing for mullet and after continually losing bread bait but no hook up.

Brought my rig in to rebait. The bare hooks were hanging over the side of the boat just in ther water whilst I flattened out some bread when I hooked and landed a legal mullet.

Not much of a fight just lifted the rod.

Shows how good a fisherman I am................not

Yeah we were teahing my sister to cast one day and didn't have any bait on the hook - the result - a little flatty on the bare hook!

I love these types of stories, they crack me up everytime

Only one comes to mind on my behalf, me and a friend were fishing for yakkas at balmoral a few years ago

suddenly a schools of gars makes an appearance, seeing as the bait jig was already tied on we tried to use it but the sinker was to heavy, my mate took it off and went awat to fetch another , they were at our feet so i thought bugger it and tried it, managed one not on the baitjig hooks , but the open snap swivel! , was properly hooked in the top of the mouth to!!!
