Just Watched Some Guys Clean Up On The Harbour

[eagle ray]

Was walking the dog when I saw some downrigging going on. Watched for like 5 secs and there was a hookup and a rat came in and released. Put the rigger down again go 5 meters and hook up.

I sprinted home and grabbed the canoe and went out for a sticky beak.

As I got there another fish was on the line which was released.

They didn't put the rigger out again unfortunately, as I thought I was in for a show. (Perhaps thinking that I was a fisho on recon and they didn't want me to figure out there secret).

They tossed some plastics around for a little while. I asked them if they were hitting the slugo's , they replied yes and promptly put there rods away and left (there suscpicions had been confirmed, I was a fishing spy).

I congratulated them on a top session before they left.

I feel kind of bad for intruding on there session but I have fished this particular spot for quite some time in excactly the same manor (although for the last 2 years have been in Adelaide). My best king is 87 cm from here .

My boat is in the shop today and hopefully I will be on them 2 by the end of the week.

The kings are out there....

I don't think you'd score a career in the secret service eagle ray, better keep your day job.

eagle ray,

What were they downrigging - yakkas or squid?

And where abouts is this spot in the harbour?

Mate dont worry, you didnt ruin there day, If they think they have a secret spot they are mistaken...There is no such thing as a secret spot in the harbour.....every spot has been fished

come on netic no one knows where your secret spot is

oz is right no secret spots left they have all been fished before

[eagle ray]

Netic I figure that.

The spot is hardly secret but certainly not well known at the same time.

Its the sort of spot you just drive by and dont pay 2 much attention to but at the same time think that it looks awfully fishy.

Spongy I could only see the drops for land not canoe but I have hawkeyes and it looked like either 6 inch stick baits or squid strips.
