scratchie_junior619 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 G'day raiders As the swell was flat my brother, my dad and I headed off to the boat ramp but the tide was so low at the ramp, the sand was covering it and because we were towing in an all wheel drive, down sink the wheels in to the sand!! We were bogged! After a bit of help from a fellow fisho we got out! Dad was releaved and provided the nice bloke with some spots to fish as a thank you! We kept our heads up and were heading to Broughton but as we get to the heads the wind picked up and chopped the water so we changed tactics and headed for some flatty! We pull up to our spot and were swept off the bay so we moved to another spot which was a little windy and still had the wrong drift! With two small flatty caught and the sun fading, we changed tactics again and headed to our snapper spot off corlette anchorage. It was first drop with a pilchard tail and off the line went! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. We thought snapper then after a nice fight, we land a 50cm snapper. This is a PB for me! After that we couldn't keep the anchor on the floor so we decided to pull up and head home All up, an alright fishing session Cheers scratchie-jnr619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Tell your dad he needs All Terrain tyres for that boat ramp ! The reddie is a nice fish, and that is a good size for eating, chunky flesh but not too tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaners Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So I see they still haven't cleaned the sand off the ramp yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So, they were Dad's tyre marks I saw there! I tried retrieving my boat from the other side of the ramp and got bogged before I even put the boat on the trailer. Got pulled out by another bloke with an X-trail, too, who was waiting for the tide to come in. It was going to be a long wait so I drove my wife back to the cottage and bought a $5 shovel on the way back and we cleared some wheel tracks. Got out OK in the end. Bad day for us (wife had a banana on board!). I got 2 nice flatties but no good outside. Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well done Ty. It was a good fish, you played it well and congrats on your PB. I know your looking forward to eating that one. Lucky there was some helpful fishos at the ramp, as the tide was rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
