Blackfish

[Luke K]

Hi Raiders,

I went this arvo to one of my favourite fishing possies to have a crack at the Luderick. It was cold and wet, which eventually led to my demise. What a frustrating session it was. I got a 35cm blackie in the first half hour and then I struggled to get any downs for the next hour. At about 5pm, very large school of mullet came right into the corner of the beach I was fishing. They were so annoying. I could hardly read my float because the mullet kept knocking it. Everytime I went to check my bait, it was gone. I thought to myself, surely mullet don't eat sea lettuce. I had to start anticipating when a blackfish was taking the bait, which eventually led to the demise of this big fella, 45cm.

After that, I was too cold and wet , so I went home.

Still had fun though.

cheers Luke

Hey mate, disregard my question in the PM I just sent you, I see you did get out again and faired better than we did in the morning! Beautiful blacky there, I'm gonna have to do a bit of research on the old luderick or it's gonna be another boring winter for me again.
