Ryder Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi Raiders. Trevor and I hit the harbour again today, this time northside. We started around 6:30 and planned to fish the tide change and the run in. There was heaps of bait swimming around the wharf, alot of cormorants too, which isnt great. They can spook the fish. The blackfish were around for a while, but seemed to shut down wben the tide changed. We managed 3 fish, a couple of drops and 1 that busted me off. Trevor also got a small Tarwine on weed and believe it or not, he hooked onto a Kingie. The fish followed bis weed bait in , it's profile must have looked like a baitfish. It came right up to the wharf, just looking at the bait in front of it's nose. Trevor twiched it and BANG he's on. The fish took off around the pylon at the back of the wharf, then PING he was gone. He would have been legal, but there was only a slim chance of landing it on blackfish gear. A floppy 2 wrap rod, a reel with no drag, tiny no.6 hook and 6lb leader. If he went for open water mmmmmaybe. With the wind coming up we moved over to tbe south side of the harbour. We got a few downs and pulled out one more fish becore the wind got the better of us. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Good job bud. Sounds like an eventful session, sorry I missed it- really keen to see how you guys do it, especially with no drag on the reel. A kingie on weed too, who'd have thunk it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
