Ryder Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Raiders. Following yesterdays early start, Trevor and I backed up today for a session around Balmain. With the fresh weed we berlied up and fished for 1 1/2 hours without a touch , so we moved. Second spot wasn't any better, we gave it an hour and moved again. The third spot neither of us had fished before, but we figured we had nothing to lose. There were signs of life, little touches and things were looking up. I got the first good down and smapped off on a decent fish. Trevor was next, he made no mistakes and the first fish was in the bag. Soon after I was on again, it went easy at first,but once it woke up it went really hard. Nearly had me a few times, but after 2 minutes a solid 45cm horse was in the bag. From then on we went fish for fish. I had a brief encounter with a surgeon and we finished the day with 14 in bag. The horse and 9 of his mates were set free. Cheers
Stapo Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Wow 45 cm. great fishing. That would eat the fish I'm catching at the moment. Well done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
elferoz777 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Good on yas. We went out for 1 fish 7 bust offs and about 40 finicky downs with no hook up
Guest hawkesbass Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 You were due for a big fish. I guess your bad juju is gone now after the last two days. All fish were well conditioned and healthy.
Ryder Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks guys. Im glad I had something to report today. Steve, it was that big it could have choked a Pelican.
Stapo Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Ha. Very good. They don't only get long they also get wider and fatter. Must have put up a good fight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ryder Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Good on yas. We went out for 1 fish 7 bust offs and about 40 finicky downs with no hook up Hmm sounds familiar. Are you using fluro? . I had bad lot of FC Rock bought in Sydney Oct/ Nov 2014. Took it in for testing and got it replaced No refunds for lost fish to bad leader.
papafish Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Love that fish. the 3rd spot are not on the rock i suppose right? judging by the photo. unless you took it elsewhere and take the photo:) if you dont mind me asking which area are good to catch them without heading out to the rocky edges
Witha Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Nice one mate that one really needs a saddle! Your karma points must be up there after the entrance haha. Keep it up!
Ron Howes Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Great catch, nice to see the blackfish moving back into the harbour. Good to see you have had your sport and released them too. I received another report on some big stud blackfish caught on Sunday afternoon on cabbage in the lower north side of harbour. Strange on my last successful outing in Harbour I had beautiful Botany weed and they only bit on cabbage. They would not touch the weed .
