Hi Raiders.

Hit the lower harbour south with Trevor earlier today.

We met at the spot with the sun just rising, we didnt expect the wind.

Decided then and there to go somewhere else.

Arriving at the new spot we got the berley going and worked out the depth.

First drift of the day my float disappeared and I pulled up tight to a good fish. 38cm.

Things were looking good, as I was on again and the second fish went into the bag.

Then Trevor got his game on and caught the next few cish in quick sucession.

Things went dead quite after that as the tide was falling

We released the 5 and packed it in, and moved again further west.

We have been trying new spots lately to increase our options in the future.

Places protected from the prevailing wind and spot that produce at different stages of th tide.

This 3rd spot was out of the wind and showed some signs of life after a short time.

we were both getting downs, but not setting the hook.

Then I came up tight on a good fish only to lose him at the net.

Trevor got the next good down and we soon had a decent fish in the keeper net.

I followed that with a smaller but legal.

We kept getting downs and pulled the hooks on a couple more.

It went quiet an hour after low tide so we called it with 2 in the bag.

I took them home and put them in the smoker.

Yummo

Ryder well done you are very consistent on the blackfish I notice fish in the far tight of the first photo has that damaged dorsal bump on it I am never sure whether that is because it's been damaged in a pro net or was damaged when a small fish regards

Cheers Harry

I was told it is from trawler nets, but more recently heard on this forum it is more likley due to poor water quality.

It comes up quite nice.

I used Manuka and Aussie red cedar.
