hottyscotty Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Woke up at 5am and was umming and arring about whether to go fishing because it was cold and it was low tide. High tide would come around 1:30pm. Drummer fishing seemed a bit difficult. The swells were southerly so i picked a north facing spot on the northern beaches just in case swells got a bit high (can't always trust seabreeze). Got to the spot and chose a very low lying ledge because it had more wash. First few casts were snags so i waited till a bit more light came out so i can see where my line was. Nothing for 2hrs. As the water got higher and bit of berley. I landed 2 drummer and a blackie within the hour. All fish came in on the 40cm mark. I never target blackfish but occasionally i get them on bread. This one came in at 40cm plus a few millimetres making it my first 40cm+ model. All fish were caught with king prawns. The waves were refracting onto the ledge making it a bit dangerous and the higher ledges were taken up. With a good feed of fish, i pulled the pin and went home.

Well done - just as well us fishos don't get bored with 2hrs of not catching fish, eh!! Some would call it 'optimistic' ..... I call it 'persistent!!'

gje Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The middle fish looks like a drummer but has interesting stripes, very faint, like a blackfish - cross bred ? Cheers, Scoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zod Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Top effort. I went fishing Sunday with no luck. All I caught was a cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottyscotty Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) the middle fish is a black drummer. a chef told me to severe the spine for best quality. so i gave it a go. i guess thats the result of it *shrugs*. just like you iki spike a fish, all their colours come out. it turned back into black after a while. black drummer have stripes as well but its less noticeable because they're black already Edited July 20, 2010 by hottyscotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
