Hi everyone,

Whilst most of you unlucky bastards had to work, I got to go fishing. ( I am rubbing it in because soon I will be only able to fish 1 or 2 days a week, as opposed to everyday at the moment).

Luderick 59 called me at the crack of dawn, and we decided to go to his neck of the woods- Mona Vale.

Tide was going towards high, and we couldn't fish too close to the suds so we worked a gutter. Pete has this place dialed in, he knows all the spots to catch blackies and pigs, places that I would never of even looked at. Just as I got to Mona Vale, he was already fishing and had a hook up. I ran down to him to see what it was, he seemed to think it was a Pig, because it was like a knife fight in a dark alley.

Then Ta Dah!- A Happy Moment ( Siganus nebulosus ) or Black Trevally. It was around 30cm. I was laughing, because they are great fighters, but Pete wasn't too happy from this anti-climax. He promptly returned it to the suds.

A couple of minutes later, BANG!.... and guess what?, lol yes a giant Cockie, even funnier.

Then 5 minutes later, yes you guessed right- another Happy Moment about the same size.

We float fished, and also Pussy footed for a couple of hours but nothing else, not even a tap.

But I am beginning to understand Mona Vale a bit more now, there are spots there that you fish that I wouldn't of even thought you could, and Pete certainly has a vast wealth of knowledge and skill that he is only too happy to help or give me.

Tomorrow- hmmmm Kirribilli all day. I collected a tonne of cabbage and weed, because there is none at kirribilli and I need to go give the Surgeons a bit of a licking. Surgeons are dirtier than Pigs or Kings, the bastards.

Cheers, and have a great weekend everyone.

Too bad you couldn't get the pigs or blackies today, those trevally are nasty things, we've caught a shark on a live one though-dno why it would wanna eat a spikey thing like that.

Good luck with the surgeons.

Cheers

Black trevally taste great! If only I could catch them in good numbers...does anyone know where these things frequent? And the best bait for them?

Thanks.

Hey Nook,

Do you mind answering where the black trevs were caught, on the northern or southern part of Mona Vale?

Thanks
