Ryder Posted May 24, 2015 Share 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.

Guest hawkesbass Posted May 24, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Howes Posted May 25, 2015 Share 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
