Friday In The Harbour - Now With Pics

[daleyboy]

Howdy raiders,

Hit the harbour with spongy and his mate on firday and this how it went:

Furst up we threw some placcies at various markers for kings and got 2 small rats. Gave up on that and decided to have a look outside around Nth head, tried for kings again but no louck there so i decided we should have a crack with some hard bodies for bonito or tailor.

We ended up getting 8 bonito on small hard body lures around Nth head .. only smallish sizes but still big enough for a feed.

I then lost the lure that was getting the most strikes and whaddya know the bonnies decided theyd had had enough.

Went went back inside the harbour and tried a few marks for kings for no luck so we cruised back past a hole we spotted earlier, spongy notices some arches on his new sounder so i dropped a live yakka to the bottom and 30 seconds later i was on ... to a lovely John Dory my first ever and not a bad size at around the 45cms mark.

Only managed to land 1 or 2 more rat kings after that .. but a great day in all as it wasnt spent at work

Will post pics when i get em sent to me

A big thanks to Spongy for the day out on the harbour I had a great time learning from Dale and Spongy. Also the rats were great fun. Dale hopefully the lure will be found soon ,as the bonito are here.

I will have to land more next time.

Here another shot of Spongy with his bonito.

SOunds like a good day on the water

Good work on the dory... have known them to be a winter fish, but haven't heard of many reports of them being caught.

Do they fight much?
