Early Morning Blackfishing Session West of Gladesville Bridge

[Ron Howes]

Ventured out this morning at daybreak with Poohbear to beat wind and try our luck. Berleyed heavily and the bites came nearly instantly. The fish were not as large as my Friday session in morning there. I was net boy today as Poohbear had a heavier float that was more suited to the conditions. Also there was a chap there hogging the spot fishing the bottom with 4 rods. I lent him one of my rigged up rods so he could have his first blackfishing session. Mind you his rig was working better than my gear, however, he struck too soon or far too late. He did not catch any, however I think we have a convert to the dark side. This also freed up our drift so we could take fish. The wind killed this spot at around 11.00 am, so we packed up.

I posted two photos however only one came through.

Good stuff. Most of us probably let the wind beat us today. Good move giving the other bloke a go.

Hi Ron

You are getting some nice fish.

You have got my attention. I'm going to get some weed tomorrow and give them a try before or after work one day this week depending on the tide.
