Ray R Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hiya Raiders, today I met up with Tan for a fish around the rocks, we met at the carpark and after an exchange of pleasentries we headed around to the ledge. So there we are on a perfect morning got ourselves rigged up for an early spin and didn't take long before the horsies started coming in, I snared a few that were quickly bled and into a bucket of nice salty water, Tan was having a good time spinning and just admiring the beautiful sunrise, some poor buggers had to go to work today, but we were here to fish and enjoy what the rocks could offer. After a spin session I decided to take a walk 100m or so away and have a bottom bash, found some small reddies, one of which just tickled the 30cm mark but I put him back anyway, a small flattie also took a liking to the bonnies pieces. Tan was busy searching for a bream or whatever close in and managed a couple of rock cod type things. So although the action was not hot It was nice just being there with a new found friend. Tan had to go around midday so I prepared him some beautiful fresh bonnie fillets that I know he and his family will enjoy. So after a top morning we said our goodbyes and I stayed on for a bit longer hoping for the larger model reddie, he didn't come along instead I scored a bloody banjo shark, so I tuned him up and sent him back. Another couple of hories came in but they went back in and after an exhausting day I decided to go home and have a beer.. So that was the day, Tan you're a great bloke and I enjoyed my time with you, hope we can do it again.... Another spectacular sunrise Tan the man Small reddie, right species wrong size Lord Tan admiring the view Some fresh bonnie fillets Tuning my banjo (LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great time - didnt catch what I wanted to but thats fishing!! At least Im consistent eh! Ray caught four bonnies in the first 1.5hrs and two kings were caught by other along with countless bonnies. I'll be back up there real soon mate.

slinkymalinky Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 It's a bit cruel reminding us that we were working, Ray Fantastic photos from a beaut sounding session. Any chance I could get a high res copy of the sunrise pic... definitely one for my wallpaper folder if you don't mind. Send me a pm if I haven't already given you my e-mail address.

Great read Ray, and good to see you catching up with so many Raiders.
