elferoz777 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi Guys, Headed out to Port on Sunday morning and was surprised to find people are still hooking up Bonitos there. Apart from that the only other things I saw being caught was a few flounder. I headed down about 0800 in the hope of landing a bonnie or another Salmon Water was very clear and quite calm so I tried the ol faithful paternoster. After an hour I was on the phone to the boss letting her know Iwas on the way home then bang! I end up hooking a sambo. Turns out my 2nd ever sambo was a PB at 62 cms! better luck next time i guess El Feroz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeb870 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Wow, still catching Bonito? I went two weeks ago to try my luck at Bonito but there was none around. Are they catching them off bait or lure? Nice Salmon by the way, need to update your signature now Edited May 28, 2012 by aeb870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incredible Hull Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice work dude. Out of curiosity, how heavy is your leader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elferoz777 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Nice work dude. Out of curiosity, how heavy is your leader? Its 40lb mono I got the stuff really cheap by chance at+_+_) of all places and it is pretty good. It seems thinner than the 30lb line I got from Syd markets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Salmon by the way, need to update your signature now They were casting out something (more than likely a squid skirt)plus float and doing the who cast and retrieve...I was tired just watching them then gave my Rapala a go to no avail. Apparently the bonnies are still in Kiama near the blow hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the bonnies are still in Kiama near the blow hole I fished the blow hole once with mates, bloody dangerous! We had all the gear as well, wet suits and cleats etc, still managed to get drenched by freak waves. And when high tide approaches, you need to move well before, or you're a goner.
