gregr2 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi all, Went out today chasing blackies at my favorite spot. After quite a few outings recently, bring home only ones and twos, today they were thick. You know its good when you dont even have time to have a cigarette From the first cast there was action, weed only just had time to reach depth and I was on. Non stop action, dropped a lot and got busted off three times by some big ""mamas" that I couldn't land an 6lb gear. Lost one to a huge Kingy that smashed my fish right in close to the rocks No real size to speak of, all fish 30-37cm...managed to take home seven, could have been more, but so much time was spent re rigging All in all they are on!!! Some details Place Botany bay Date 28/9/09 Time 1100-1300 Tide run in wind 250/15-20 kts Temp 19 deg Barometer 1006 Humidity 30% Moon waxing one week off full Water temp too cold to go in!

Smitty Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Well done moonset, glad to see that you got into some nice blackies......yum! You must have had a nice sheltered spot to fish. Cheers, Smitty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregr2 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Yes was a nice sheltered spot, I have not had much success in choppy water. Has anyone got any theories on how waves come choppy water affect bait movement under the float and does it freak the fish?

luderick -angler Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Caught them in all conditions from glass calm to fishing into the teeth of a 25 knot southerly you can hardly cast your float into to. I am no expert but know a little but my father was and he reckons that half of catching them was if they wer ethere or not! Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregr2 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Maybe a lot of it is physiological. Its really nice to see the float go down in nice mirror water. For me, generally after a period of time fishing, the wind comes up and it becomes uncomfortable to cast and gets cold, time to pack it in. But I have noticed that they seem to "go off the bite" when it gets rough.. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
