patchy Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 finally convincing the boys to get a serious weekend of fishing done, planned to leave sydney on friday night about 11 pm and head to snappers point rocks. getting there we put some pillies on the hooks and got the line wet. pretty quite but managed to get 6 salmon on the pillies, but the lures were quite that day. after being excited about fishing we decided to go home for the arvo and head out to jervis bay on saturday night. got to jervis bay about 5 am on sunday and the weather couldn't have been better for this time of the year, straight away got the gear ready and headed onto the rocks. rigging up all the lines sent out the pillies again and started to spin whilst waiting. was a quite morning and nothing was happening, so the other group of 3 people we met there decided to leave, but we decided to stay a bit longer and be patient. got a bonito off a metal lure and my mate put it on omoto overhead. after 45 mins we got a big run off the overhead, all we could hear was the line running, having turns at fighting the fish for 40 minutes the line got snagged to a rock and ended up snapping the line. deciding to have a nap after being upset of losing the fish, i wake up to everyone going crazy, pulling in salmon left right and centre, so i jumped up and got my line into the water. before starting to spin my lures i was already hooked, and ended up being a busy afternoon. after the salmon disappeared we started to pack up and it was hard to find out who was carrying all the fish back up(luckily it wasnt me ) all in all a top weekend thanks for reading guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim77 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Good fishing mate... But can i ask what you would do with all of those Salmon? They are just about edible if you fillet and skin them instantly... But only just. Maybe you should have put one of the salmon back out with a hook in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day's Fishin Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Nice haul there patchy Not much on the taste side but they give a good account of themselves especially on light gear. On saying that I have one mate that comes out with us and he loves them, he fillets a couple as soon as their landed and straight onto the cooker, the look on his face you would swear that he was eating lobster.

wannabefisho Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Mmmm... Fish Cakes... Good catch mate. Tight lines Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Rock Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Great catch Patchy - and what commitment to fishing!! That's a lot of ground to cover in one weekend. And a good haul of salmon. I like to keep them as pet food or mince them up as burley for other fish, but occasionally I'll smoke one or cook one up as fish cakes. Don't let the haters get you down - they're just jealous that they can't fish as well as you!! Top effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
