Guest Jocool Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Late start for me today. Didn't hit the water till about 6:00AM. But with dad and 2 other passengers, chasing and feeding fish was going to be a disaster, so we opted for berley and baits. Went straight out to Fairy Bower, and started a berley trail at anchor. Started of a little quite, but ended with 2 legal Schnappers, and a couple of odds and sods. It was fun to watch my brother do battle with an un-known for over 15 minutes on 6LB gear, only to bring up a horse Sgt. Baker of about 60 cm's! He called for a big Schnapper as we all had Red Fever. Moved back into the Harbour after the wind died, as the bite seemed to have shut down. Anchored around Sow and Pig, for not many takers. Got a bit bored so threaded some pilly fillets onto a jig head and did a Grant! Had some fun with small Trevs and assorted other fish, but no keepers. All in all a nice day, without too many arguments with Dad and a feed of schanpper, and the others wanted to try some Sgt. Baker...so 3 were kept. Out again tomorrow to do it all again. But this time with only me and Mark aboard. I don't think I will go fishing again with 4 aboard...Too awkward.
Guest fishrunner Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Well done Joe, Pity it didn't fully fire for you , but I'm sure the company was good anyway. As you said there's always tomorrow. Heaps of sambo's round at the moment to keep you occupied if you find them . Have a good one cheers
Outnumbered Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 sounds like a good day Joe as for the sargents, my dad rekons they are worth putting up with the bones for a feed if you get them big. (but i haven't tried one yet)

Hooky. Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I don't think I will go fishing again with 4 aboard...Too awkward. 65177[/snapback] That is a fair statement Joe. It's not easy to please everyone in life. At least you kept the old boy happy. cheers Hooky
Narralakes Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) hey Joe, sounds like you guys had an ok day. I started very slowly with nothing b4 lunch, but George caught some very nice trevs on fly. I had a decent arvo though with a nice trev, a big St Baker on fly then had a 40 minute battle with what we think was a king, unfortunately the king (??) spat the hook after a very long and exhausting battle. Hope you and Mark get amongst them tomorrow. Edited September 3, 2005 by Narralakes
TunOFun Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 The couple of snapper should go down well, might have to fight for it amonst the four of you. Good luck today hope the reds are around again! Brett
