G'day Raiders

Post is a bit late but here goes

Went for a fish with Humesy last week. Our objective was to get some bait and then try for a Big Jewie.

Bait was a bit difficult to find but after a while we had a few yalkka and slimey or two.

I decided to put out a live as a "speculator" while we were catchng bait. Out goes the livie uner a small piece of poly and after a few mins gets hit by something. Ah well have another go. This time it got hit by what we think was a small hammer. So loaded up again but this time no poly. After a few mins the texie takes a bow and after a good struggle up come a nice little king. Not bad for a bait session.

We moved on to the run in and nothing much happened (pretty usual for Jewfishing) then moved to a run out and again nothing (except eels )

On the way home we ran into pip an he had just caught himself his PB flattie!

Pip PM me and I can let you have the rest of the photos.

Cheers

Nice Couple of Fish there.

I am curious about one thing though. This has to be the first report I have seen of a Kingie in the Hawkesbury. I've heard of them being caught in Broken Bay and even in the Cowan but not further up. How far up the Hawkesbury were you?

cheers

G'day Mike,

I hope you haven't photoshopped that pic to hide my bald melon! I'm a nude nut and proud of it.

Thanks for a great trip.

Cheers
