robeebee Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Dad and I put the boat in at Oatley bay and wasn't the parking full already bloody public holidays on my RDO Dad has a painter coming Tuesday so were stuck with Monday , anyway with the tide still pushing in we head to the mouth of Kyle bay and drifted back tough going casting into the westerly but the only way to cover more water with a mission to catch a flathead for my father in laws birthday dinner,I put on a turtleback in pumpkingreen and 1/8th ounce jighead about my 4th cast my 2 pound setup is going off, love that sound land a nice little 27 cm bream and promptly release him a few casts later and i'm on BIGTIME. PING Dad say's why do I bother with such light line and shakes his head note to self , loosen drag a bit change to my 3 pound and put on another worm get a good hit but turns out to be a 26 cm reddie , released on again with a decent fight and ask Dad to net it but he's on as well double hook up of 50 cm Jewies , I net mine and then dad's and set them free , sorry no pic around the top of the tide casting was easier with the wind to our backs a nice long cast, let it sink to the bottom , slowly wind in the slack , feel some weight zing , a good flattie it feels like , and I was right , get it near but it doesn't like the look of our boat in close again for a net shot to see the fish has taken the lure right down , oh oh dad gets it into the net but it jumps out and goes for another run can feel the leader chafing and know this next chance is it dad nets it again and hauls it in quick as the flattie smashes around , nearly breaking my other rods my father in law has his dinner next on is Dad with a great fight from a 35 cm Bream , running him around the boat a couple of casts later he lands a 30cm model i tie a new leader on my 2 pound set up and loosen the drag straight away on bigtime with reel singing a merry tune , this is great fun feels like a decent bream and it was , after a few runs dad does a great net job bent my hook too the wind picked up big time so we headed back to a packed ramp but etiquette was the name of the day and trailers were moving in and out smoothly another good feed from this great river of ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Nice report Rob and congrats to you and your Dad on some good fish. I have similar comments about light line when fishing with my old man as well, and my response is the same as yours "I'll just back the drag off a bit" Cheers' Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david88 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 again awsome report the master strikes again i have much to learn... after that loop knot photo i just realised im hindering my lure action by using a hook knot maybe i should go down to 3lb from a 6lb..... as well lol I was under the impression that a locking knot such as a hook knot are preferred for making the SP swim properly. I may be wrong though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
