bendalton Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Long day on the harbour started at sunrise collecting yakkas from balmoral then to sow and pigs. No luck either side of the tide change except for one kingy smashing a livey which I dropped..... :-( . Explored middle harbour and north head. Back to sow & pigs for the following low tide. Scored the 63cm flatty on a soft plastic. Then back to the pylons near the island at rose bay. Landed the 75cm kingy half hour after low tide about 6pm. Made the whole day worth it! PS water police came for the standard safety gear check at mid morning at sow & pigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flickn Mad Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Nice one, good to see you rewarded for your efforts and persistence. My personal views on keeping lizards over 60cm are beside the point. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendalton Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks flickn mad, Reference the lizard, I genuinely felt bad and would have returned her. On first quick measure had it at about 55cm but just simply misread the brag mat only to discover our error when it was compared to the kingy much later when it was far too late. Damn shame, but she didn't go to waste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendalton Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 G'day fat souvlaki, Balloon was roughly a metre from livey and about a foot from the braid to leader swivel to avoid tangles... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
