Piss'n'Broke Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 This is a report Im posting upon Greg's behalf. On Friday night Greg headed out with a good mate of his Steve chasing some squid and kings. At 10pm they launched the boat of out Tunks chasing some squid and yakkas with success. By 5am they had enough for a session so they ventured into the main harbour where they began fishing the harbour markers. it wasnt long before they had a few hits and a rat landed before finally Greg nailed his first Sydney harbour john Dory. And a bloody good size one at that coming in at 51cm. They proceeded to fish the main markers for a few more hours with a couple more kings being landed before they headed back into Middle Harbour for the change of the tide. It wasnt long before rods began to buckle over again with screaming reels, and some nice jews and more kings were landed! . Both of the jews fell to live pilchards that Greg caught after they began busting up on the surface all around the boat. He only manage to catch 2 pilchards before the school went deep. After 14hrs on the water they decided enough was enough and pulled the boat out of the water abit after midday yesterday. All in all between Greg and Steve they caught 1 dory at 51cm, 2 jews(85cm or something, and a 99cm model), and 8 kings all of which were legal bar one! Greg accounted for all of this fish with the exception of the rat which Steve caught after he snuck a bloody banana onto the boat , karma! Dan These were all the pics he took considering it was a very hectic, but productive session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgj Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Great fishing as usual-you blokes are the masters of the harbour. Looks like the harbour is firing up. I'll catch up with you guys out there this week. I agree John Dory are great eating. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
