fisho.sid Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi had a day off and decided to see what's around and fished middle harbour landbase. The water was filled with bait fish and signs were promising, however winds were gusty and the day was bright with no overcast for cover. Started a small burley trail and flicked out a piece of pillchard and noot soon after a small trev took a liking. Then something else bigger jumps on and up comes a bigger trev. By about the 4th cast something bigger jumps on and busted me off the pilons but luckily it was just my hook that went missing. Upgraded the hook size and in goes another bait. All 5 mins later my line goes nuts and i'm on and this time i'm trying my best to avoid the pilons. After a few mins of seriously bent rod and aggressive head shakes, up comes a great size trev again. These little trevs are awesome fun on light gear and one of my favorite fish for a curry or bbq. On 4 pound leader i was pretty pleased with the catches. Got home and as part of my routine, a quick pic from the kitchen sink Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 We'll done on the trevs mate! They certainly are a great fight but have never really eaten them. However when the suggestion of a curry was made, hmmmmm never thought of using them for that. Sounds great! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
