daleyboy Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) 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 Heres a pic of a bonnie and the JD Edited June 9, 2009 by daleyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
