Scratchie Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 G'day raiders, I caught up with fellow raider dom today and the plan was to fish the stones around harbour to one mile and see what we can come up with. With no real target in mind we started by throwing unweighted pillies and slugs with not much action. With the rising tide it was getting a bit big for my liking and it was time to move. After a 15min trek in, we were greeted by a nice ledge and we began to burley up. Dom was on first to a nice silver drummer and I was getting hassled by bait theives. So dropped down a hook size and started landing a few yakkas. So with my other set up I sent one out live and 10mins later I was on. After some great acrobatics and tail walking I landed a nice healthy sambo! So now the plan was set. Catch a yakka and throw him out fresh! Well we both repeated this process for the rest of the day nailing some cracking salmon, watsons bonito and a nice tailor. Many different species were caught throughout the day and all were released to fight another day. All in all great day out on the ledge watching the whales go by, getting buzzed by the jets and landing a few beauties along the way! Thanks for reading! Cheers scratchie!!!

Rock&Beach Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Sounds like a great day away from work to me.. Nice report.
Yowie Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Good work Scratchie, but I would have kept the tailor for a feed.
Witha Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Nice one mate, textbook. Some good looking specimens there!
Scratchie Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Cheers guys! Normally I take something home for a feed. We could have brought quiet a few back but today was just c & r.

Your right pete! Dom had the quickest conversion from live bait to fish I've ever seen. Within 30 seconds of hitting the water he was on!
