Ray R Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 G'day Raiders, been a while since I've posted so here marks my return to fishraider land. Went down to Hardy's Bay this arvo for a short session with my son Dean, he's been down in the dumps a bit lately due to his shattered calcaneous (heel bone) he has a plate and 8 screws in his ankle now and it will take some time to mend. Anyway he does like a fish as I do so we rigged up a few rods and spent arvo on the jetty. Heaps of fun there as we caught a stack of fish and even though most were babies it was a hoot. We caught a few flatties as well and a couple came home with us, we also burleyed up a heap of yakkas for some strip baits and then the mullet came in, I was having a ball catching these little fellas, I released them all but gee it was fun playing these feisty little critters. Dean caught a nice bream amongst the juniors, then he had a go with my plastic outfit and caught a small flounder and a semi decent pinky. So that was our arvo, we caught a heap of fish, Deans face lit up a bit and he learnt a few things too, he was amazed at what a loaf of bread can produce... Enjoy the pics...

steze Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hey ray. I am pretty sure I walked straight past you at Avoca near the carpark a few weeks ago. Didnt know whether to say hi or not coz didnt want to make a fool of myself incase you thought i was weird or something.
Keflapod Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 G'day Ray, Nice to see your mug on the boards again. As always, you pull fish out of the water like you own them. I'm sure Dean will heal real quick. When he gets that cast off, he'll keep it off during the week, but come the weekend, he'll put it back on, put that puppy-dawg face on, just so as he can fish with his old man again and again...... Welcome back mate...just in time for the autumn run...
marley Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Nice fishing Ray I can't wait til the end of next month - Harday's Bay will be on my doorstep I have seen the light.....I am moving to the central coast gav
Ray R Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Ray, where did u order your customised brag mat? is it expensive to get a customised one? Cheers Phil My brother made that for me, still testing it to see if the colours run and or how the plastic holds up with saltwater use..
