stormy Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The rain stopped today, so the tides looked good for another rock session. Started fishing around 10am and although the water looked good, it was really slow going. About 11.30am, at the bottom of the tide, I finally hooked into a nice fat blackfish. The bites were pretty timid, and I left the float under for around 10 seconds before lifting the rod. Dropped 8 fish right at my feet, due to only being lightly lip hooked. Ended up landing 6 fish in four hours of fishing. A beautiful day out. The swell was up a bit outside, and looked lumpy around the heads. Frying up some fillets for dinner tonight. Fresh blackfish fillets lightly floured and fried in butter. Yum. The run is a bit late for this part of Sydney but fishing should pick up in the next few weeks. All fish landed were males, with plenty of milt spilling out. Very energetic fish and very powerful runs. Had to leave them biting, as the N.E. came in and brought heaps of weed and storm water flotsam in close, fouling the float and line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickster Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Considering the clear sky and water with not much wash, I think you did exceptionally well. Rickster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
