tide'n'knots Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 gday raiders, I just got back from a weeks camping at batemans bay with my girlfriend her daughter and 3 friends and her son and 4 mates. We all had a great time but unfortunately the fishing was pretty ordinary. The locals told me that they recieved a lot of rain in december and it put the fish off the bite and it still hadn't recovered properly in the time we were there, 2of the girls managed a 32cm flathead and a small salmon of the rock wall at the end of corrigans beach and 2 of the boys got a just keeper bream each and the other boy got a 62cm flathead one night from the boat with me, I only managed 1 keeper the entire week but at least it was a good fish. On our 3rd night I decided to have a go for a jew at the bridge and after catching some livies ( the only thing that was easy to catch all week) I anchored under the bridge out of the rain and settled down to wait for a jew. On the top of the tide the rain had stopped and the boat slowly swung around to face the opposite direction when i noticed one of the rods with a fillet on it bend over from the weight of a fish I picked the rod up from the rod holder and struck, there was instant heavy weight for a second and the line snapped!! damn! I wound in the line and was sitting pondering what had just gone wrong when the other rod with a live yakka bent over I picked it up and struck and several minutes later I landed this beauty. 18lbs of beautiful silver! pete.

zen801 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hey Pete, I was wondering what you were up to lately. I see you got a nice jew there mate. I like them at that size. I am due to start fishing again now that it is getting less busy on the water. Had to bloody work through christmas then we wrote the car off etc. Glad the end of year break is over as it was average. You look like you had a better one than me. See you soon.

Mercer007 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Sounds like there's alot of water between fish, but that jew is a beauty. Well done Pete, you put in the time, you get rewarded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
