Rick T Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Mick and I hit the cooks on sunday for a quick session. Saw Andy at the petrol station and he joked with us about how much better my hornet is than his skeeter. Only ever fished the cooks a few times and made it there ok thanks to Jocools directions. last time I ended up at the airport terminal and looked like a dumbo driving through the drop off area with a boat in tow. Hit the moored boats and first few bridges early and picked up a handfull of nice bream up to 35cm fork and over half a dozen average size trevors. Moved on to a few bridges further up stream and tried jigging with some 5" and 9" shads for "big bream" with no luck. The sounder was full of action but it may have just been the rubbish. Jigged a drop off near the bridge with a bream rod with 2" hawg and hooked up. A powerful run towards the bridge as I tried to angled the rod to get it to swim into the middle which worked. locked the drag on the 1000 stradic and started to get it back when it made another long run directly past and around the pilon. Mick was yelling at me to turn the bail arm over but I was too slow and got shredded . After that not much was caught as the tide picked up so we called it a day early. A full boar boat "sniffin" was up near the highway bridge, not sure who's boat but gave em a wave and took off. Instead got lost on the way home and ended up at brighton le sands.

Guest Jocool Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Cook's is a great place...For reshaping props! I went way up stream, and found a large number of submerged logs. Should have known better...but I just wanted to go up there to sate my curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick T Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Yep thats the boat, didn't see u around though Joe but we were off the water early. Cook's is a great place...For reshaping props! I know what u mean about props. We were throwing some unweighted lures around the big drain near the red marker. started up the motor to move away and took a chunk out of it. Luckily I have 3 spares at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
