rose bay / nielsen park 15/12/14

Long day - got sent home from work early due to the drama at Martin Place.

Got to the point of Nielsen park (western side) around 2pm. Flicked plastics from there all the way down to Rose Bay - literally - for barely a touch... let alone a fish. Tried everything - different lures/jigheads/colours/retrieves... just wasn't happening. At one spot along the rocks i saw two poor catfish that had obviously been caught the night previous and just left there to rot - and packets of prawns from the grocer - really upsets me - as revolting as it was i cut their bellies open and put them back in the drink for the crabs and what not.

By 5:45ish i was down at Rose Bay flats - wind had picked up considerably and i only had my flattie stick with me but decided to try some top water whiting anyway. Took a while but did manage one on the Sammy before the wind made it impossible to work - so switched to a popper and got another littlie. Tide was fairly low so had a quick cast at the moorings before i went home and managed a flattie on my second cast which leaped probably 2ft out of the water. Nice way to end the day.

Nice, I was at the point and only managed to hook small snappers and one wrasse.
