Ryder Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Today my wife was working so I was stuck with home duty. Did the dishes, the washing and fed and bathed our foster kittens Nanuk and Bliss Done by 10 and out to gather weed. I found some locally and got a bit of cabbage too. Back home to feed the kittens again around 1pm then off to s sneaky spot around Drummoyne I sounded the area to get the depth and got the berley going. The weed I found was too short and wouldn't stay on so I made the switch to cabbage. Those rubber float stoppers kept catching on the rod tip, so I doubled up with a stopper knot. Now I had the right depth it wasn't long before I had a solid 38cm fish in the net, followed shortly by a 32cm version I left them biting as I had to get dinner going for my girl and the kittens.

hookerbruce Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 A 38cm fish is solid they fill out by that size and start to create some fun. The good thing is you can fish shore based and still score even in an hour/ . Can't chase them this year as I'm fishing else wheres a bit of luck they'll still be around in sept Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Good stuff. I wrote off the weekend or fishing looking at the forecasts, gotta be keen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi SargeThis kind of fishing, although very new to me, is very rewarding. You can find your own bait and choose your ground according to the conditions. Search the depth, watch the drift and see the float go down.

SgtBundy Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I got some hooks recently to give it a go next time I have the opportunity. It certainly seems to be the go at the moment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Good effort mate we fished all day for 18 in total was hard going once we found a school it was a bit easier seems the full moon going down has got them back on the chew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Trevor mentioned that about the moon last week. Those float stoppers aren't working for me, cost me almost an hour all up. I am following the advice but maybe putting them on too quick, not enough lube, and friction burning them. Only 18 ? ..haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Try tying a stopper knot using dental tape above the rubber stop if the ubber stop moves it will act as a marker as it akes a little more force to move them! Also the 18 was between four of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
