davegroves68 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi Raiders, took the opportunity to try a new land based spot today while the weather was reasonable. Headed to a wharf on middle harbour with a few pillies and some SPs. 2nd cast and i got a take on the plastics. . A good take too, and boy did it run. I only had light gear as i was after flathead and Bream so I was very surprised when a good sized Salmon started leaping all over the place. I took my time and got him to the wharf but i had made the mistake of not bringing a landing net and when i lifted him up , he broke me off ..I persevered and started getting a few knocks and ended up pulling a dozen or so Tailor, only one legal. While i was there i spotted a big plume of black smoke coming from the other side of middle harbour, around the corner of Castlecraig. Then the helicopters arrive and Maritime. I got home about 5 to see on the news that some poor sods boat had gone up in flames Sorry no pics, I left it with my landing net Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman36 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hey, yeah, I saw the boat on fire. I was in middle harbour and just about to head back to the Roseville bridge boat ramp when rescue and police went flying past. There was actually 2 boats that went up in flames. There wasn't much left when I got there (apart from a fair bit of smoke and a lot of flames). Havent seen the news yet. Oh, and as far as the fishing went... hopefully tomorrow will be better. Can't believe how brown and dirty the water was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
