Ray R Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Raiders, well after seeing last weeks effort, Hutcho was champing at the bit to get out there and into some of these little hard fighting kings. We set off from Terrigal and zoomed up to Forries, chucked out the teaser and within a few mins Hutch was into his first rat for the day, I hauled in the teaser and had a throw myself, a couple of cranks and I'm on too, Hutch and I get the little beasts to boat, pop out the plastics and return them to the briney, Hutch was stoked, so we did again and again, this is so much fun. Hutch took the sounding duties for a while and I let a plastic bounce around at the back of the boat 20m away, only took 30 seconds of trolling and Hutch calls to be at the ready, 5 seconds after his call a big explosion hit my plastic, I'm on and mate what a sight to see, the follow, the sniff and then the explosive strike, another little fella comes in and released. Then Hutch has a go, the same again, I see the fish on the sounder and I give Hutch the call and he's on, I had just turned around in time to see the fish smash his plastic, he battles the king to the boat and this one seems a little bit bigger, so we measure him but he was still a cm short, doesn't matter though the fishing is the good part. We then took a quick blast up to Crackneck, maybe find a little red or something but we didn't find any, I did find a very unusual flathead looking beastie, he took my plastic and at first I thought it was a Baker, never seen one of these things before, an Armoured Flathead, pretty sure that's what it is, he was snapped and returned. So now the wind is well and truly up and we are bouncing around like a bobby cork but we still manged a few more trolls and score some more little rats as we passed the Foresters reefs. What a fun morning we had, back at Terrigal ramp by 11:30am, what a great little session. Anyway that's it for now, I can still see those kings attacking the surface plastics, what a buzz...

Brian Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Blah Blah blah. Sore arms didims!!!! Fairdinkum you've got to catch sea monsters to show off. Just wait till Jan/Feb. Chappo and I' ll show you how its done. But, wow I've never hear of one of them before. Good day out guys well done, AGAIN. Ray, I suggested to Chappo and Hutch an arvo/night/morning "Fish Off" some time late Jan, most probably early Feb. Get your diaries out and we'll get it happening. Sea Monster, Huh.

And yes I'm gonna try a popper next time . The reel was very nice , overkill for what it caught though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho1 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Mondo, Thanks for Sunday a great session in quick time. Plenty of fish and I think you beat me by 18 -v- 17. The best fun was watching the sounder, finding the fish and then calling it and bang your on!!! We will just have to find those bigger ones so I can bring something back to the table.
