shan777 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Not the most amazing of reports but here goes. Went out with my good musician mate Mike McCarthy. He has a great boat for soft plastic fishing so it was a big change from my leaking/rocking tinnie!!!! Did many drifts along the drop offs targeting flattie around Ettalong for only 3 legals and 1 under. The flattie haven't fully arived yet i don't think. Headed back to the rip bridge, and i though i'd target a jewie or big flattie, chucked a huuuggeeee squidgy fish (130mm), let it sink down with current, two cranks later, my line went straight a lightning speed, it was a very very good bite!!! Maybe even big taylor. Well here's what i pulled up- he just missed the hook Tight lines guys. Shan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Badluck on the fish mate, next time! Hate that feeeling! Did that happen under the rip bridge? How do you manage to stay anchored? I can never stay put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shan777 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 it was due to a good electric motor, and it was at the bottom of the tide so the current was slowing down by the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gretsch Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Wow.. what a hit!!! The old plastics are not that soft!! That was a decent fish to cleanly bite the tail off at a reasonable thick part of the lure. My Old Man once netted the head end of a big mullet which had been bitten in half at the Rip. The half measured about 20cm so it was a pretty big mullet! I reckon it was a Jew or Tailor hit. The slack tide is when the big Jewies come out to play.

TheDiko Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sounds like you need some of those Gamakatsu stinger rigs for livies and plastics when fishing that place. Never mind mate, you'll get him next time IFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
