Brooker435 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Afternoon Raiders, After a long week in the office I made plans with one of my Collegues to take the Boat out for a Spin and hopefully get ino a few. The Plan was for him to meet me at Home at 10 to 7 so we could get out there on a reasonable tide and fish the Runout. Anyway got a message at around 6:30am saying that he cant make it I had everything set up ready to go bought the Bait and everything else required. So I went sat down had some brekky and contemplated what my options were made a few calls no takers last minute is not always good even Fisher Doi was feeling a little under the weather so I thought stuff it ill go solo but was not feeling too confident. It was now around 8am went to the servo and filled up then Johnny message's me "Have you Found Someone to Go Fishing With Yet?" I immeadiatley rang him as I was 2 streets away from his home and said Ill be there in 5 mins Sweet I was feeling much better as I dont have a great deal of experience on the Boat so its always good to have someone with you plus I forgot rags which Johnny was happy to bring so more time saved We got to the Boat Ramp around 9:30 checked everything and away we went Boat started First go Stone Cold very happy indeed. We tried around Greenwich to start till about 12pm used Beach Worms, Pillies & Slimey Mack Fillets for no taker's apart from the Bite here and there and we were using Plastics also to cover all bases Johnny came up trumps around 11:30 with the first Fish of the day a healthy flattie around 38cms but decided to let him live to fight another day. We persisted for a little while longer and decided to head back and have a flick near Gladesville with the same methods and hopefully get onto some better fish. Johnny again scores another flattie of the same size and off he went also. At this stage Johnny 2 Nathan 0 Not to worry not long after that I scored one of my own but the smallest one of the day not even of legal size but happy to be out on the water anyway. Apart from the odd hit here and there on the baits for no hookups Johnny lands another flattie on plactic's you guessed it same size. By now the Rain had started and I was feeling a little tired so we decided to call it quits. Back at home by 4pm nice and relaxed ready to get out there and hopefully land a few more next weekend weather permitting Theres a few Flatties around at the moment hopefully we have a good season this year!!!!! Also very happy with the Boat she did everything I wanted and nothing like a trouble free Day Hopefully I can keep this up!!! Thanks Johnny for Coming along mate look forward to our next Adventure!!!! Regards, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to hear that the new boat has been performing well for you after the early hick ups ..As to Johnny Doi I've known Johnny before his Fishraider days and I must say he is as keen as mustard and a natural fisherman from way back...I'm glad you've teamed up with Johnny and I'll be looking forward to arranging to have that Hawkesbury session with you both in the near future...

johnny doi Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 thanx heaps for a top day on the water nath.i really enjoyed the day on your boat mate.im very impressed with the old girl,she performed flawlessly & is a very dry ride for a boat that sits that low to the water.shame the fishing front wasnt so great but like you said yesterday,it was great to just be out there. hopefully our next session we'l land a couple keepers for a feed with hopefully a big stinky silver slab in the bag.im dying for a feed of fresh fish.i couldv kept those 3 just legals but i dont like keeping lizards under 40cms.chat soon mate cheers johnny.
