kadavu Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) The family and I decided to head up to port stephens over the long weekend hoping to get some good fishing sessions in but unfortunatley we only had one good day out of 4 .When we arrived my two sons started fishing straight off the shore at the back of the property we were staying at dispite the strong wind and within 20 minutes my youngest caught a 1kg bream measuring 38cm his new pb .After some quick pictures we realeased him back safely to fight another day. The next day we got out onto the water at about 7 am and headed to our secret jewie spot and within a couple of minutes we had a triple hook up. we were only using 2 and 3kg line and caught 2 out of 3, dropping one close to the boat.we then went on to catch 4 more ,the 3 biggest being 8.35kg,8.12kg and 7.76kg. we ended up releasing 5 other fish between 55-65cm because our esky was full and lost around 7 fish, one taking around 100m of line and snapping us off. the next two days we spent catching the odd whiting and flathead from shore with the strong southerly keeping us off the water for the rest of the week .Overall a great weekend and looking foward to next trip up there. http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/2531/img0896x.jpg http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/9817/img0897oo.jpg http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/2243/img0899nw.jpg http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/6521/img0901mu.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4703/img0904fw.jpg http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4384/img0905xz.jpg http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7633/img0907ln.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1578/img0909cs.jpg http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5503/img0910cuc.jpg http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8326/img0912k.jpg Edited October 8, 2011 by Squizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kadavu Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) We caught them all on fresh strips of squid and one on a small yakka When ever we go to the spot we always use newcastle squid or squid from a nearby area and the fish seem to hook up every time Edited October 6, 2011 by Squizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOOS Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 .... and the fish seem to hook up every time thanks for the tip, but there's something "fishy" about it, hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadavu Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 we have tried other squid there before but they don't seem to be interested for some reason. Mullet from the area also works well but we find squid is easier to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kadavu Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 It would be interesting to see how old a fish like that would be. I know snapper can get 30+yrs old but u can't judge their age based on size sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
