Ray R Posted November 15, 2012 Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjc123 Posted November 15, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joking fish Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It's good to hear there are still fish in the Hawkesbury, from recent reports it has been hard going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booster42413 Posted November 15, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
