Port Hacking

[Yowie]

Fished the deep off Lilli Pilli this morning. Pulled out a just legal kingie, 3 reddies just over the size with one at 41 cm, and a lot of throwbacks just under the size, 3 bream to 34cm, a just legal jew that went back in, and a 40cm tailor. Baits were yellowtail and squid strips fished on the bottom. The kingie was gut hooked, did not go for any big runs and felt like a big reddie at first.

Fished the flats along the main channel with a soft plastic, can't remember the name but it looked like a 3 inch mullet, and pulled out 2 flatties about 40 and 48cm. Both were released. Had a couple of other hits that didn't connect, felt like bream.

I store my boat at my mother's place in Gunnamatta Bay. After I cleaned the fish, I threw the bones in to the shallow water and 2 dozen or so bream raced in for a feed. Some looked about 35cm long, so there are plenty of bream about at the moment.

When I landed the tailor, he spat out 2 large pieces of a decent sized garfish, don't know how he managed to keep them in his stomach, and then swallow a decent sized piece of yellowtail fillet. Shortly after that, I pulled out a reddie with a very fresh piece of garfish bill sticking out of his mouth, so he may have been feeding on the scraps under the tailor. Might be a few garfish floating about as well.

Good work On the kingie..

I've fished the hacking for over 50 years, and there are still fish to be caught. One thing I remember as a kid was watching a tuna 4 to 5 feet long jumping not far out from the Yowie Bay wharf, hoping that I would catch it. In reality, I would have been water skiing down the bay had it taken my line.
