Scratchie Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 G'day raiders, Just a quick report. We hit broughton island today in search of a few snapper. With the weather expected to be great with not much wind, anticipation was high. We did well in the morning and I managed a nice snapper and between us we dropped a few also. I also managed a good bream going 38cm while the others played with a few pike and Sargent bakers. We changed a few locations as the expected 4knot s/e winds were now 20knot n/e but that didn't deter us. I then landed a nice trev as the boys were now playing with the rockcods. I then landed another snapper and I was thinking wow, I'm on fire! That was until my sons brained farted and he dropped my iPhone overboard. Oh well, food for the table but I can't ring anyone to come share it with me! Thanks for reading. Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_ Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) No good about the phone mate, my mrs done that to me once haha! Nice fish too, you done better than me, I still couldn't get those fish at the breakwall. I had one spit out an unweighted whitebait this morning and that was it. I literally tried everything, even a live baby occy. Bloody frustrating! Edited September 14, 2014 by Dave_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Good work on the reddies, what did the damage? I use a 1/4 jig head with a peeled green banana prawn. They don't bother biting it, they just smack it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky champ, next time let me know and I'll come join you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Good to see you're still getting out there, Jeff! Would you believe I was in Port last weekend and didn't have a fish, even though I snuck a rod in the car?! It was cold and wet on the Friday (when I was on my own), so I gave it a miss and I picked up the missus from Newcastle station on Friday night. But Sat, Sun and Mon were magic days and we just enjoyed chillaxing around Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. Saw some fellas doing well on bream and luderick from the Nelson Bay breakwall and was happy just watching, really. Anyway, I am happy to say that we now own real estate in Shoal Bay (investment place, then future retirement and why we were up last weekend), so have every excuse to get up there more often, even if it will be a while before we live there! So, hope to see you out on the water - I'd like to do the run up to Broughton when the weather's good in the company of another boat, if you're up for it! Keep those reports coming!

GH1952 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Nice catch scratchie you'll have to show me how to catch them on plastics because I'm useless at it. I can get them on floating baits but haven't got a clue with plastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
