gregr2 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Went down and pumped some nippers today, fished the bay. I must have lost 7 or 8 hooks, snapped off, just like cut with pliers. Maybe lots of oversize puffer fish about??...managed to bag a good sized flounder and bream. Heaps of small rays as well..kept me busy. Good day out except for all the half hooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelrdoyle@gmail.com Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yep - leather jackets. They will do that to hooks - especially the cheaper/smaller ones. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregr2 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Leather Jackets me thinks, lots of thema round, tooooo many!!! Well might be... although I have never caught one or seen one caught where I was fishing. Caught a 60cm puffer last week, some spot..which I managed to land, with bent hook. F%#@*$ bit me too boot.

zephi Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'd also have to add that it sounds more like puffers to me. Did you get any big pulls on the rods with those bitten in half hooks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No most of the time I didnt even know the bait was gone, till I went to bait the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
