Ryder Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 After much chatter about my new found passion and Fishraider, I convinced my old mate Michael to join me this morning. I got to the spot on the lower harbour around 5am, tried and tried, but no fish Michael arrived about 7, I told him the situation, and we packed up and moved to a spot nearby. Again this was somewhere I hadn't fished before, so I went thru the routine. Check the depth, Berley up and watch the drift. I set Michael up, and we soon started getting bites. He couldn't see it, they were only small touches, with the float just dippin for a second. I shortened up 6 inches, and Bang an average size fish was in the net. Now he'd seen it he was keen as, so I put my rod down, and supported him. He got a couple of downs, only to miss them. He kept saying' I can't feel the bites' I explained you won't, just watch the float, watch the float. Soon he got a good down and pulled up tight onto a good fish, played him out and I netted him. It was a very respectable 38cm square mouth. Which turned out to be the fish of the day. We got a few more each, an quit when it went quite at low tide. I was a complete novice to this kind of fishing a few months ago, but with the help and generosity or other Raiders, I can help a mate get his first.
