Basil D Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I have been out fishing regularly but haven't posted for a while, been lazy but I went out for a Snapper sesion with a top Bloke Ali from arncliffe . Hit the water at 5.30 am and got 2 snapper with the hour then nothing, found it tough to find the fish but when I managed a decent fish up comes a seal and steals from me I then pulled anchore and moved to another spot there we the next five snapper, thanks seal. On top of all the we managed squid, rock cods, and other reef species and Flathead of course Thanks Ali for top day and looking forward to getting my first snapper with a hump Edited February 25, 2011 by Groper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james7 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 That's a great feed of snapper Basil! Well done mate! You're lucky that seal convinced you to move. I haven't been out for about 6 weeks so I've got "itchy fishing fingers". I'm really hoping to get out soon. I'd be over the moon with a catch like that! You don't have to say the exact spot, but what part of the coast were you fishing? Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter Through a lot of research and homework is paying of and of course a lit help.The next time your trawling and you see birds sitting on water inspect the area, you may see a dead cuttle, flick soft plastic, pillies, squid etc at them, the snapper will be there underneath it, the birds sit and wait, they dont get close as they will have there legs bitten off, and look for Gravel. pm sent Edited February 26, 2011 by Groper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keflapod Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey Basil, Well done on a nice catch of reddies. It's always a buzz to get a couple, but when a seal comes up.... Mate I have had a trophy nobby once taken by a seal around the hump. We chased it in an 8.5m platey but of course we had no chance. If I even so much as SEE a seal, it's lines up and out. Let the lazy bugger catch his own fish.... Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keflapod Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Tony can come fishing with me anytime but pink thongs are a must will be heading out to longy this week sometime, see how I go Hey which Tony do you mean ? I might have to get my own pantofles and practice my boomerang-throwing technique on you guys... Only problem is that I doubt I can find any fluoro pink ones and of course I don't know what your respective boats look like. I might go chucking at the wrong people....then have to apologise and ask for my pink thong back... By the way, any of you mardi-gras revellers going to fish the pirtek challenge on April 10th? If the target species chosen by the organisers turns out to be something other than bream or whiting, I'm screwed... I might need to follow someone around.... Just kidding...I don't do that sort of thing... I have binoculars..... Edited February 28, 2011 by Keflapod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keflapod Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Tony keflapodis that's who how a bout a post come on Tony its been a while ive seen your boat out there every week next trip post with photos please . OK Jimmy, See my problem is that part of me is a bit of a megalomaniac that wants to post every week and brag and brag. But part of me (my conscience) tells my megalomaniac side to "pull his head in" and shut up. And part of me acts as a referee between the other two parts. There are obviously too many parts in my head all arguing.... So next time you see me talking to myself, you'll know what's going on... By the way, the part of me that likes pink thongs has been tied up and relegated to the corner.... OK - next trip I'll post, good, bad or ugly....

Keflapod Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 ye Tony but you use to post every week what happen Hi Jimmy, Yes I did used to post every week but I'm sure people would get bored of seeing the same-old-same-old from the same smarty-pants, show-off guy. I would hate to be branded that. It would also invite many negative comments and questions and be seen to be politically incorrect for obvious reasons. So I thought I would take a step back and let other people take the limelight. I thought I would give the odd pointers here and there and just post occasionally. I mustn't let my megalomaniac side win - he's got no brains.... By the way, if you see me on the water, how about you come over and say G'day. I need to see what YOUR boat looks like....
