The Poacher Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Forecast was good and it was the first day of my short holidays. Got to the Haven Boat ramp at 5.15 and no other boats about - so all good - we set about catching some yakkas. Head off up north and the first 2 yakkas in the water (ie the little bite sized ones) get smashed but no hook-ups??? A quick check revealed one hook had reversed into the head, and the other bait was just pinched. Anyway, 2 more baits in the water, and as soon as fish showed on the sounder we would hook up. A lot of little ones, but a couple of crackers around 78cm and really well built. Ran out of livles pretty quickly and went to the dead gar/pink squid combo wich produced a lot of little ones 60-65 but one at 67cm. Trolled lures and got a few more. Back at the ramp at 11. Going out again Thursday and will probably have similar game plan as apparently there isnt much else on unless you want to go wide and chase dollies. The charters boats are only chasing flathead I heard. Happy to hear if there are other options. The Poacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plankton Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Nice Kings. That's a good scale you have used there. The fish look more than a metre long once compared to the hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poacher Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hi Plankton, I wish they were more than a metre long!!!! I have plenty of little helpers when I fillet them at home. Poacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
