KayakPat Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So hit the rocks early Wednesday morning, started spinning for 0 so I decided to try for some luderick. I'd just bought the Luderick gear the day before and have never tried it so i was pleasantly surprised when my first cast into the wash resulted in a fish. I have no idea what I'm doing and couldn't see my float ever and my line was getting pulled all over the place by the wash, I went to bring my line in and the was a fish on it... so did a few more drifts without any luck then the boys call out that there is a bust up... so switch rods and gogogo!! we had triple and quadruple hook ups on 30-50 cm tailor and salmon. A giant king 1m+ was harassing one or the salmon we hooked and was tempted by my jig for a moment but not today... after 4/5 fish each (on metals mostly, and I used singles on my metals and landed all of my hooked fish vs 2/3 landed on trebles) the action died down and i went back to blackfishing. i put my float out and went to clean my sunnies when I look back my rod is bouncing around. So i go get my second fish on float Apparently tho my keeper bag securing technique needs some work as it came loose of the rock and 1 tailor and 2 blackfish escaped... luckily the bag got washed into a rock pool and i still had 2 tailor and a salmon there. went home annoyed i had no luderick to show for my beginners luck but keen to get into it in winter P.S. thinking of trying some new spots, maybe north head/manly area? anyone want to have a fishing bud up that way?

SgtBundy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Nice work - pity about the catch bag but still a good haul. Anyone know why salmon have bloody tails like that? Do they get nipped at a lot by their mates or do they just overwork themselves when hooked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amkr Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Much better than I've been doing mate. I've lost 6 sp rigs last weekend trying to reel in Australia... Meanwhile the missus caught 4 bream on a $5 Kmart special... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
