smith Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Started off Sunday morning looking for a session down at the piers, with Luderick-Angler his mate George & Slam 345 but were turned away as there was some kind of marathon going on & Hickson Rd was closed to all traffic. Well plan B was next, so we headed off to a place that would suit the run out tide & out off the south westerly wind. While the boys were setting up I had my first drift & got slammed by a good fish. After a good fight he was soon in the keeper bag. Bit of burly later & they were on again. All the boys picked up good fish in our session except for George who dropped a couple of nice ones. The fishing soon slowed up so we moved onto another spot to catch the run in tide. Started off slow, but then we started to get into them, Royce got slammed by a beauty but got busted off on the pylon. Slam 345 & myself picked up a few more nice ones. George got slammed a beauty, this fish didn't muck around with the float it just went straight under & caught George kinda off guard. This was a big fish, George had him to the surface for a split second before he got busted off. George & myself reckoned he would have went about 2lb. Another couple of good fish were landed before they decided to go off the bite. In all 14 fish were caught between us & it ended up not being a bad session when they were on the bite.

arpie Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Well done boys! Sounds like a terrific session! They've just started 'going off' up here, too - I must go to the breakwall & investigate soon!! VERY SOON!!! CHeers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 It wasn't a bad session at all Roberta & fishing with Luderick-Angler you learn a fair bit on the art of blackfishing. When he drops his float in the water the blackies they know they are beaten & just float to the surface Us newies to the art when fishing with Luderick-Angler always try to out do him in landing the first fish well luck was with me on Sunday & I got the first fish. But it's not only that, Luderick-angler (Royce) takes time to show anyone who wants to learn the art of blackfishing & maybe down the track I could pass on these skills I have learnt to someone else. As all blackies fishos know, its not just dropping a float in the water & hoping a fish will take the weed. It's the preparation prior to that,the right rod, well blanced float, the right line class, bait presentation & most of all, patience & when you have that down to pat then you can fish & when you have hooked your first blackie you are addicted for life.

luderick -angler Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Cheers for the kind words Scrubby and not only that I spend half the bloody time racing around netting fish! Next time someone remember to put the landing net together before starting the session!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Good one boys. I went out yesterday and found the seas were wayyyy too big at my usual spot. Fished enclosed water spot and the swell had to be watched even there, as a big set of three would come through every 10 mins or so. Three hours for two blackies and a pig. Very slow going but a nice day out in the sun and nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.KingSpooled Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hey Fellas, Ive always wanted to catch these fish but never knew how. Mate of mine knows something about targetting them but he doesnt seem to keen to show me the ropes on this style of fishing. Wondering if anyone would be keen to show me how its done Can chip in for anything we will need for the trip. Also dont mind bringing beers and bbq if we land based so we can have a few and a feed at the same time !! Cheers Raiders, jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Scrubby Your next challenge is to show Royce a new spot that he hasn't fished before - heck I am moving to the central coast and he even knows the estauries and ledges up there too gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwood1980 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have never tried blackies.... caught them for fun and i always let them go.... Are they good to eat? the thing is they only need weeds, so i am guessing not really tasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap charlie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey jez, Take a look at the teach a man how to fish section, there is a fellow whom offers to take others and show them how to catch darkies. Also, take a look at you tube to get a look at how others go about fishing for them. They are one of the better eating fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Jez, more than happy to show you the ropes PM me your contact details and I will give you a call. Theres few rules to blackie fishing the main one is share the drift, rotate the main area they are biting wit hyour fellow anglers and keep the hot spot quite as well as where the bait comes from. Saying this the first three are golden to the older brigade the last I will share as long as folks don't over do it as per Scrubby's post! Cheers Royce. Marley first spot will be Jacksons followed by the Square Hole then the Skillion for rocks inside Woy Woy Baths for fisrt timers then Half Tide!!!! Need any more spots!
