Port hacking 2 trips

[hookerbruce]

Trip 1

Went out in the port on thurs for a social/picnic day with wife and our friends.

I went at 7am so I could have a fish. Started out fishing deeper water came up with a rat king and a legal snapper on frozen squid.

Then went up to mainbar and pumped some nippers, fished the flats for a while for one legal bream but no whiting. Back to the ramp to pick up the picnickers.

Went to the sand spit at mainbar for a swim. Naturally had a fish. A nice flounder and a blue swimmer crab.

Next stop was Jibbon beach for lunch and another swim. And a fish which resulted in a 35cm bream.

Trip 2 sat

A 7am start from grays point ramp went and fished the deeper water again, this time a squid and 2 amberjacks (45cm), then on to the flats pumped nippers then fished for whiting. No whiting but a 35cm bream and 3 good blue swimmers. There were a lot of whiting on a couple of flats but they were playing mummies and daddies and not interested in a live nipper in front of they're nose.

Next trip will be on tues fish the deeper water then the flats and try to catch some of Yowie's whiting.

You managed a few fish and crabs, so that was a bit of good work.

As for the whiting, if you can see them, they can see you and usually will not bite.
