Luke K Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi Raiders, I went to a favourite Luderick spot this afternoon to hone my skills as I have not fished for them for a couple of months now. I know from keeping numerous diary entries that this spot is quite productive in summer. When got there I noticed that the water was quite shallow but there was a good wash that I thought would encourage the fish to come out and play. After fishing for about half an hour and with the tide being about 2hrs before the high I had a solid hook up. It felt like seaweed at first but a couple of solid tail beats reassured a fish was on the other end. This is probably the most difficult place I fish to land a fish and so I knew I was in for a long battle. Finally after 5 minutes or so I landed this nice fish.(45cm) It was followed by a couple of smaller fish around the 35cm mark. Never ceases to amaze me how productive beach corners can be for all fish, but especially luderick. Cheers Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admitt I have not tried pussey footing yet, but I must give it a go some time. In fact I might even try it this arvo. Well done Luke! Top Blackie! They give a good fight at that size, too, once they 'wake up'! Hmmm, may have to get my blackie gear out again! Roberta Hi Roberta, You should definately get your gear out. I was up at Port last week and there were a few around. By the way, what is the best retrieve when popping for whiting Edited January 7, 2009 by Luderick Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
