majed1965 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Decided to take the day off work yesterday and go fishing in the Bay early morning. Dad, my cousin Maher and myself hit the water around 6am. It was blue skys and beautiful calm waters. Went straight away to the Kings ground and target some Kingies. No luck their with no bites for about an hour. Went to spot X in the bay and did not move at all from 7:30am until 12:30pm due to the amount of bites we had. Burleyed all morning with lots of success. At the end of the day we had 44 fish in the bucket for a big family seafood feast tonight. 18 Snapper, 13 Trevally, 2 Flounders, 2 Flatties, 1 Salmon, 3 Bream, 5 large Yellow tails which look like small kingies. (Jumpus told me the name of these, but i forgot what it was) It was a really fun and rewarding day, especially catching the Trevally's and the 60cm Salmon which weighed in at 2.4kg. It was great fun on light tackle seeing the salmon jump out of the water.... I tell ya, nothing beats a good days fishing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmon_Hunter Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I like to think of them as King Yellowtail. They are Jack mackerals. Not bad eating either. There are everywhere in plague proportion at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majed1965 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) nice catch... where's a pic of the snapper?? 18 is a good number from the bay............. My cousin took the snappers and some of the other fish, so i missed taking the shots of them. Just had the trevally's, flathead, flounders & king yellow tails for dinner.....yummyyyyyyyyyy...
