hobbitt Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 So, with the wife at work, and the kids given me the flick, I decided to chuck the rod and tackle box into the car and head down to a little fave spot of mine around "Raffertys"..... There I was, mid afternoon, by myself, good old Nigel NO friends, a bag of servo prawns and no landing net, no keeper net, nothing !! Cast after cast, prawn after prawn, I tried in vain to hook up, then slowly but surely the whiting came home to daddy, then the bream, even a couple of pinkies. Kept one whiting, that I cooked up for tea tonight ( YUM ) At approx; 5pm BANG........ Yyeessss, Near pulled the rod clean out of my hand, drag working a treat, zziinnnggg, then, arghh nnooo ! line has gone all limp ?? reeling in and walking towards the end of the line, thinking maybe this ol girl is playing me, then all of a sudden, COLOUR!! And a last ditch effort for freedom, Hhmmmm, I hope this is hooked good, because I have no landing net ( G'on me ) Mission complete...... This bugger 34cm or 14inches, and roughly weighed in at 1KG. Thats a PB for me! As diver1 posted Dec 28, Lake Mac. Flatties, Pitt Street. I know what he means, boats of all sorts, and people EVERYWHERE !!! A great day for me, even if I was a "Nigel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gness Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Good stuff! I was down at Rafferty's wharf for both Christmas and Boxing day and all I could catch was undersize whiting. Plenty of decent size mullet around but wouldn't take anything we offered them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Congrats on your PB bream, Rod! All the extra boats on the water has really made it tough fishing in general, eh? Cheerio Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitt Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Further to this post........ Today, the Hobbitt clan fired up the BBQ and stocked the eskies with ice and liquid refreshments, enjoyed the company of a non fishraider family ( Gazza and family, aka The Woy Woy Cowboy) for a relaxing back yard barbie, where the tucker was served up at a blistering pace. Some of the grub included smoked oysters, dips, roast chicken, snags, steakes, salads AND................ FISH from Gazza place, thanks to the local fisho's, oh and of course my recent pb bream. Retired for the evening, full belly, comfortably numb and an appreciation for family and good friends, doesn't get much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
