Ray R Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 G'day Raiders, I had a few hours to spare this arvo so I shot off around the rocks at Avoca for a fish. The conditions were very calm and I had no bait apart from some bread, weed and gravelly sand . I made up a berley mix with this and soon had some interest from our finned friends. I caught a luderick on weed using my traditional blackie gear but that was it, so I started using my light outfit using a mix of bread and weed. Rig was just a no:1 suicide hook to a leader with a swivel for weight, very simple but it worked. Ended up having a fun time with heaps of fish caught,one of the trevs was a good size and he really gave me a fight. Apart from the fish pictured I caught 2 small pigs around 25-28cms another small bream and a few more small trevs under the 30cm mark and one tiny blackfish.. So that was my arvo, glad I went as it was a beautiful day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ray, ever since i was a kid i admired the old timers that fished for nothing but Blackfish, and i allways thought that they had some real good recipe to cook them with.
