sureangler Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 G'day all, As some of the Sydney siders know today was some pretty average weather. Got up at 6am and went to athletics and the gym in the morning. Got home around 10am and got showered and lay on the couch. Rang the misses asking if she was up for lunch or a movie - so which she responds "No, lets go fishing". Shock horror - it was already raining. So by 11:30 we were down at Roseville with some of her mates who have never fished before and a mate who is a keen fisho (still trying to get him to sign up here). We fished off the rocks around the jetties and pontoons with prawns, squid, tiny bait fish and of course the "Oh yea i bought this fish along for bait - found it in the bottom of the freezer". Well it started to rain and then It will went abit crazy. Was almost every cast we were catching some fish - most of them tiny little yellow tail, bream and yakkas. Much to all the girls delights who thought it was fantastic - most of the other fisherman around us had a big laugh as their all squeeled and jumped up and down over fish no bigger than 5 inches We did catch a few large tailor, a couple just under and one big enough to take home. Used a smaller one for bait on a beach rod for abit of a laugh as it died - after about 30 minutes the rod bent and then went slack. reeled it in about 20 minutes later - clean bitten in half! Who knows what it was Caught a few undersized snapper as well. And a decent sized leather jacket later on Was a great afternoon fishing all in all. Now at work typing this up haha Will (Sorry no photos - I didn't bring mine down and the girls didnt want to get their phones 'fishy') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linc Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Sounds like a good day was had by all. Just be careful using small tailor as bait, as they have a legal size of 30cm whether for bait or the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate said he thought it was all sizes for tailor, but we were wrong. Thanks for clarifying that mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
