The Harbour

[cut_loose]

The morning started off at 6:30, by the time we got the boat ramp it was full of idiots that have no idea what their doing. It was pretty funny watching them trying to launch though.

As soon as we got out on the water it looked as if we were in for a good day.

First spot was Sow & Pigs for a couple of good hours. We burleyed up here hard and fished lightly weighted Pilchards. Only one rod had 4lb line on it and of course, that was the one that got hit. The kings want nothing to do with the heavier line. Anyway we only managed to land a few undersized Snapper.

We got about 20 of the buggers actually. I thought it would be a good idea to drop a bait to the bottom and was rewarded within 2 cast. A nice 30cm Flounder for dinner.

Moved to the wreck shortly after and tried fishing for some live bait. Within 5 minutes i had a ball of Pilchards around the boat, but i could only catch one within the time they were they. They went else where after 5 minutes.

I wish i had my small bait net on me (as soon as i touched the Pilchard all the scales fell off and he almost died as i put him out live). I won't forget that next trip.

Had something hit the Pilchard but no hook ups. It just seems like it wasn't my day.

Went to the beach and i had a test of my underwater camera again. It's still abit too cold to actually get in the water more to get a decent photo.

But after all, it was a nice day out on the water.

haha the carpark @ boat ramps... dreading that...

With losing the scales off live bait, I've found when using gloves, it really helps when handling the fish, they lose next to no scales.

I learnt this with poddy mullet, I invested in some decent fishing gloves.
