alexit Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Got on the harbour with Rach Sat. Late start at about 9ish saw us head over Manly way. I had just picked up some of these 1" hawgs and was keen to give em a swim. Rach kept calling them 'crickets' , a much more appropriate oz name I think After a little sniff around the boats we found the breambos deep round some nasty structure, and they loved these things The first went hard but I locked up and draged him clear with the help of rach on the leccy. He went 35cm and is now my pb Soon a smaller model at 30 hit the deck. Next followed two BIG bustups. I just could not get these guys clear fast enough! Soon after, I locked up the drag tight as, and this guy grabs it, I give him some serious curry, and he does something I did not expect from a bream, he jumps! Scared the hell out of me! I get him clear and into the net. We played a little longer to try to get Rach onto a fish, but she kept getting sort takes and the hunger moved us on to seek some food. Later I was showing the girl how to do those short flick casts you need when tight round structure, when i come up tight... she hates when that happens 'I wasn't even doing anything' says I as I bring in a first for me on plastic....a small flounder! Soon Rach gets her mark with the flick and gets another first in a goby/grinner. A fantastic day on the water, and nice to get onto some fish... alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluecod Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Some nice fish there Alexit - looks like that fish in the last photo has had a run in with a net at some time in its younger days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
