Scratchie Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 G'day raiders, After a fruitless weekend chasing trout with fellow raiders trout scarer and fish less again, I really needed to restore my credibility and get myself back onto some tight lines! So about 10am this morning after a quick team meeting with the wife, I convinced her that we should go out on the boat for a leisurely drive in the bay! So we cruised out to my spot, dropped anchor and baited up! (Didn't think I could throw another lure, too sore) So first drop, tap tap tap and I'm on, pulled up a nice 26cm bream! released but good to see!! Then the wife is on too, not the biggest but good to see a fish come up We then picked up a few chompers that went straight out on my live rods. They both got disfigured to some sort but didn't hook anything. I'm guessing larger tailor. Not even the small squire we pulled in escaped a peppering! Then the weather turned sour as predicted and it was time to pack up and head home. All in all, we caught 14 bream (9 for me and 5 for wife) but after further discussions we agreed it was 7 each and countless tailor. All fish were released but it was just great to see them tight lines again! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The reddie has been attacked by a good sized tailor. and tailor do like eating small reddies. At least you managed a few bream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapo Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice report Scratchie I find down at The Entrance those choppie Taylor will eat anything that moves. They even take the weed sometimes when I'm blackfishing. Cheers Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Stalker Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice work bud, good to see you still got it hehehe. I have to admit trout fishing is pretty damn hard, I think that is why I like it, It is a huge challenge and bloody good exercise! As you found out on Sunday. Wait until you hook one though, you instantly get hooked along with the fish. You will have to give it a go with us again sometime. Perhaps next time we wont walk so damn far hehehe.

nbdshroom Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Good stuff Scratchie! The bream look nice and silvery. Might have been fun to throw out a slug and catch some of those menace tailor (or a shiny sinker with a hook on the end). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not wrong on all accounts diesel. But trout fishing reminds me of skeet shooting, where you ski miles to shoot a target! But we did the kms with nothing to aim at, no matter what angle you look at it!!! (Angling???) Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keflapod Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Lol.... As I said, after further discussions it was agreed we were even! G'day Scratchie, yes we can always attribute 'our' mistake to a simple accounting error on 'our' part such that the scores were indeed even. But if the ledger was in 'her' favour, mate, I bet she would NEVER admit ANY type of error.... In fact, she would rub it in for a while to all your mates, right ? Yes......and we still would have to let it go and pretend to be all embarrased about it.... But you know what ? That is the best way to go about it. When we show such humility and good nature to our other half it goes a REAL long way. It keeps that special friendship strong between us and our better half - er, I mean 'equal' half, right ? Ok, ok, 'she' is the 'better' half..... Tony Edited June 14, 2013 by Keflapod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm happy to give and take especially on a couple of bream! Lol Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
