Blackfishin the Wonny

[Davemmm]

A couple of days late and no photos but i figured I better start posting again.

I had a brief session on each of the three days of the long weekend hunting Blackies in the Woronora River.

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to fishing so most of my sessions are as near to home and the ramp as possible. Fortunately the Wonny is only a couple of minutes away now and goes alright on the Blackfish.

Saturday and Sunday were spent fishing a few spots along the Bonnet Bay/Como stretch of the river and even ventured as far as Thompsons Bay (all of about 1km from ramp). Landed nine or ten undersize models on both days and took home three keepers each day with the largest going 32cm.

Monday I had the oldman for company and we stayed around the 8 knot marker near Bonnet Bay and didnt have a great session but still managed a couple of legals. We came back to the ramp at Bonnet Bay and had a dig near the first pontoon before the point. We only had about 30mins there but landed a couple of decent fish. The oldman got absolutley smashed by one that took him under the boat, back out and then under the pontoon before his hook came off.

Now for a bloke thats been fishing regularly for his whole 71 years i could have killed him when he said "I didnt think that knot was up to it when i tied it". Really Dad SO WHY DID YOU STILL BLOODY USE IT. Anyway........it was a cracker of a fish and he dropped it not me.

All the legal fish were taken on the start of the runout with only a couple of not so serious downs on the end of the flood tide. It wasnt a bad go for my first blackfishing session(s) of the year, plenty more to come though.

Sounds like a productive weekend Dave.

Had a chuckle at your father's comment, as I have heard similar from my own ... with my response being a little more colorful than yours

About time you posted again!

Cheers

Are you fishing from a boat?
