DGF Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hey guys woke up saturday looked at the weather outside and said im gonna head out to avoca and give it a try. left home 10:30 picked up mate got to avoca around 1:30 ( kept wanting to stop for food + need fuel ) anyway got out there and it was PACKED with people first time i ever went down there, started fishing for few hours with only yakkas getting foul hooked on my gang hooks, people everywhere were all pulling in bonito and only reason i wanted to get out there was to try my luck on a bonito anyway my pilchards kept getting hammered by yakkas then eventually they got so bad in the head that they were just falling apart on the cast, so i chucked a yakka that got caught through its guts put it out under the float within 10 minutes scored a kingfish was only small rat but i at least caught somthing Sunday/today said ok i wanna head off to avoca again and try catch a bonito this time another mate picked me up n left my house from 10am got there around 11:30 and the swell was INSANE but decided to give it a go anyway trying and trying with pilchards, other people kept getting bonnies on people but i had 0 luck then RayR was out having a chat with my mate and got to talking great bloke, and he suggested i give my mack bait another go spinning on the spinning ledge so i soon did and within 10 minutes i had caught my first ever Bonito was 47cm great little fish and enjoyed catching it. prepared my bonny as Ray was telling me earlier when i got home i cut her up into some loins and dipped into some seasame oil and flour and grilled it on the hotplate and boy did it taste good:D P.S Thanks RayR for the advice and pointing me in the right direction for my first ever bonny Regards Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
