Ken A Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I whizzed around the tackle shop early this morning when I was told my SX-40's in the new colours had arrived as well as my Bug Ants Love trying out new stuff When the tide turned I managed to squeeze 90 minutes in for a fishing session before doing the tourist guide bit for the rellys. I spent 30 minutes at Monash St for 1 fish so I gave it away & headed south. I started there using an SX-40 in the new 308 colour & got 2 nice Bream around the 31/32 cm mark then I changed over to the 309 colour for another 2 similar size fish. Things went pretty slow then so I swapped over to my old favorite the 306 I pulled one reasonable bream & decided to give the 313 colour a run. Instant success getting a nice 34cm Bream first throw followed by a similar sized fish next cast. A few minutes later it was scoffed by a 37cm Whiting followed by a 45 Flathead. Over the next 30 minutes I took another 6 Bream as well. It was great short session in ordinary conditions with 15 knot Southerly blowing. Still whose complaining after 16 fish. Kept 2 bream & the whiting for a feed. Final score on colours -Bream only 306 - 1 308 - 3 309 - 2 313 - 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vipernut Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 sounds like a top session Ken I think it is about time i invest in some sx-40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken A Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Don't put posts up like that, bloomin Swoffa will remove ALL 313's from ALL Australian tackle stores in no time That thought entered my mind JD I'm using 2 spots now. I fish Monash & my little testing spot. Monash St is a very consistent spot but isn't fishing really well at the moment with the falling moon. It will pick up in a few days though. The other spot is similar but smaller & doesn't get boat traffic , crab pots ,jet skis & other fisherman in it. It's a good spot to try new HB's & SP's & get a decent comparison on what works & what doesn't because you know for a fact the fish haven't been disturbed at all. I found it 2 weeks ago & there's no other footprints there & the vines I put across the track are unmoved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookem_Herby Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I was very careful when I stepped over the vines .... you said not to touch anything!!! Good stuff Ken ... glad to see the new colours working and you still getting a few fish every outing! The 37cm whiting must've been a nice surprise Apparently there are still a few Queenfish about in the Passage ... you keen to do some live baiting for them before they disappear? Or will you be busy with the rellos? Herby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken A Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 I'm busy for a fortnight as far as I know. Squeezing fishing in between driving. There the ODD queenfish around.Mainly at the board walk. None on the jetty since Thursday. I was very careful when I stepped over the vines Errr let you in on a secret They aren't at stepping over height Keep looking mate you may find it one day but I doubt it I'm practicing blurring backgrounds in photos now!

Guest bluecod Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Apparently there are still a few Queenfish about in the Passage ... Herby 50241[/snapback] Thank goodness I read Herby's post twice - I had a hard day at the office and when I first read it I THOUGHT it read "Apparently there are a few Queenslanders in the back Passage..." Had me almost as concerned as Jimbo's post when he took Iain away for a week. BTW good little session Ken - you'll be glad when the rellos leave you more time for the important things in life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken A Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Jeffo - its a bit of fun getting Bream, let me know when your available & I'll see when I can get a trip in between relly comittments Joe - Cool Hope to see ya. Bluecod - You would think by now I would be used to the bi-annual destruction of my fishing schedule , my beer supply & my sanity but I am not. It's 2 weeks & 3 days till I'm free & thats only for about 10 days then more #$%&^ visitors. It would be OK if they were keen fishos but they are all non fishos.
