riceball Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Went fishing with a mate in sydney harbour yestorday, picked up two quality reds on the running in tide. One caught on live yakka another caught on fresh squid. Both went for a decent run which made me called for a kingie. Nonetheless we didn't manage to get any kings as we were hoping for, the quality flesh from the snappers still gave us a nice feed. Since its my mate's spotX, I had to cover the backgrounds in the photo. But the reds are definitly out there in the Harbour. Cheers Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riceball Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Great stuff, how big did they go? The bigger one went over 4kg and 69cm long, didn't measure the smaller one. choad: Good guess, but it wasn't the wedding cake, coz we fished landbased.

Yabbiehunter Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thats a feed and a half, how were they caught? downrigging? drifting? either way top top catch, nice to see quality fish like that in the harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poacher Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Good job on the photo editing. I am paranoid about other fishos at times. I was recently on patch of good kings - I could see another boat trolling nearby as I hooked up, so I just pointed the rod at the fish and backed the drag off until the boat was gone. I also prayed that he wouldnt hook up (which he didnt) so it all worked out. Having said that, I can't lie, so whenever they ask me on the beach if I am catching fish I always tell them - but they never seem to come down with their rods.

wombat Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Those are good fish Riceball. You would have thought Sydney Harbour does not carry that sort of quality fish any more. Well done. Wombat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceball Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for all the replys guys, sorry to be secret about the spot, I've had that experience before, the next time i go to the spot X, its full of rubbish. All I can say is that place is somewhere near the heads, the bigger fish are definitly out there near the entrance of the harbour as I've also caught a decent jewie there couple of weeks ago. But I guess to put in a bit of effort and find out your own spotX is part of the fishing fun . Cheers Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
