Pittwater Report

[Young Gun]

Hey all,

I took my 3.8m blue fin tinny out in Pittwater today with two mates. The trip had been planned for weeks so I wasn't keen on calling it off due to some wind... We were on the water at 7 and it was blowing a gale. Oh well, we set off we go to a little spot that has produced decent flathead in the past (thankfully it was out of the wind) but that still didn't seem to help us. A fat 0 at that spot . Off we go to the basin to try and grab a few squid or some small flatties/whiting. We got one hit on the Sp's but apart from that nothing... very disappointing but atleast we were out of the wind. To top off the bad luck we were having a troll back to the ramp when some bloody idiot decided to turn and cut straight across our two lines which were out a fair way and under the surface. He crossed our path 20m from the back of the boat which cut the 2 decent lures straight off as well as a lot of line, it was a joke. We were trolling slowly so it wasn't like we cut into his path. Gah.. Oh well praying to the fish gods that next weekend will have better condition for fishing and also some more considerate people on the water.

Cheers all

Bad luck Young Gun,

I was hoping to go out of Broken Bay today but with the wind up called it off last night.

Hoping to give it another go in a couple of weeks.

yeah we called it off too as not too nice in that wind..

very annoying about the lures........

[Built to fish]

...Yer took all my line about 200m of around 30pound line not happy

anyway we had a good ride back. I hope the metal trace gets tangled in their prop.

there would have been many of us that pulled out of taking a boat out sat or sunday. I went down to Akuna Bay, had a look and thought "lets have lunch here instead". Good luck to you for giving it a go.

Was up at the shack at Patonga and thought about heading out, went for a stroll down to the wharf and decided the pub looked like a better prospect!

Well done for braving the wind!

dammm.

we'll get into them next time though cos we know our spots

i hate it so much when inconsiderate boaties drive over ur lines or through berley trails.... wat's their problem?? a bit of common courtesy would never go astray on our waterways..

cheers,
