James12345 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Went for a fish with Nick(parraman) and hamish(flatboy) at Jeffrey Street Wharf... With the intention to catch some jew, we set up 4 baitrunners with snell rigs and a mixture of pilchard and squid. 2 nights previously we attended a squid seminar that taught us the traits of catching squid. half an hour before high tide Nick's baitrunner came to life. Initial thoughts were a jew, however as it surfaced it came apparent that it was a massive bream. It measured 41cm... Soon after Nick managed to catch his first squid. However it soon turned out to be a $20 squid as the squid jig was lost on the next cast. Right on high tide Hamish's baitrunner had a decent run, There was again a hope of a jew but it turned out to be a snapper that had been foul hooked. On my Aernos i had a half pilchard that was out there for whatever happened to come by. It seemed to be snagged but i was pulling in line. As it came to the surface a decent blue swimmer crab could be seen. As it was a female i soon released it. During the period after high tide the bite dies down with only small fish being caught. As i was tending to my squid jig my baitrunner started screaming. As i was on the other side of the wharf i was not able to hook whatever the fish was. At about 11 we ran out of bait so we called it a night. Edited June 3, 2012 by Fishhunter123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erroll Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Nice work there mate. Apparently the guys who put on the seminar went out the following day and brained the squid. Cheers Erroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
