Ray R Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Hi Raiders, went out for a quick arvo session with my mate Jack (wacko) and his buddy Andrew for a plastic flick. Fished hard up againt the the edges and deep drop-offs and found some cracker snapper, some up near the 50cm mark. There were some rat kings around to as well as the ever present flatties, we were using light weight 2-4 kg rods, matched with 2000 and 2500 Daiwa reels, 4 and 6 lb braid with 6 to 10 lb fluro leader. All fish went very hard and there were a few bust-offs, Andrew dropped a flattie that would have been near 85-90cm. One of the flatties that Jack caught was a biggun, I posed for a shot with him and then released him back, great to watch them slink away back into the depths.. So that's it for now, very happy with the way the arvo went, grabbed a few shots as usual.. Enjoy..
Scratchie Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Not a bad haul for a quick session! Where were you fishing?
Plumb Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 That's a good haul for a long thought session. Not just a quick arvo flick. Very nice! Cheers Luke Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
rjc123 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Great work mate! Cracker Snapper for an estuary! Rat kings on light gear. Nothing beats it! Looks a little like Cowan Creek? Well done! Cheers, Tom
joking fish Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 It's good to hear there are still fish in the Hawkesbury, from recent reports it has been hard going.
bassboy888 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Awesome session there Ray! those snapper looked to be good fun!
lostproperty Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 What's the lure that did the damage on the king ? And jig head weight ? Cracking haul !
jenno64 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Ray, that has to be one of your best sessions! What a cracking seafood platter and nice release of the big girl.

booster42413 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Quite the all round fisherman. If I'm not mistaken you caught a few blackfish at Avoca on Saturday and then gave them away. It seems that you succeed no matter what your chasing. I might hit you up for some tips next time i see you. Very nice catch. Edited November 15, 2012 by Booster42413
paul.kenny Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Hi Ray, Cracker session mate especially on light gear. It must have been an unexpected trifecta, but one many of us would love to get.
