Ryder Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 After hearing rumours of good catches I concentrated west of the bridge Saturday.It proved disappointing as I tried 2 spots for zero, and 1 fish at the third. Today I headed east, hoping to find the fish. I got one small one on the first drift, then nothing, so again I packed up and moved. The wind was a bit strong, so I couldn't fish my normal backup. I found a new place and fished with the wind behind me. It wasn't long before I was getting downs, I'd strike and nothing would be there. The bait hardly touched. I tried smaller baits, I tried leaving the down to go longer, still no hookup. I put it down to small fish, right then the float went down, and I pulled tight on a solid fish. He went straight for the pylons, and for a while I was stuck. I flipped the side cast open an free spooled. To my surprise he came free, had a few more runs then into the net. Fat 40cm Followed that a short time later with a smaller fish but still a good fighter. I pulled the hooks on 2 more almost at the net. I had to leave then biting. Not sure about fishing yet tomorrow. I'm headed up the central coast to pickup a rod I bought online. I have quit a pack a day habit going on 5 weeks, probably saved a grand so far. Fishing mate Trevor said I will only spend it on something else. Haha yes Vintage Fenwick blackfish rod. Might take it for a test drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Howes Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ryder, I was down at Circler Quay at 11.00 am looking in water to left of pier 5 and saw some stud blackfish swimming amongst the pylons. Too bad I was on a John Cadman harbour cruise today with these fish around. It was a perfect warm winters afternoon on harbour. I don't know how the wind could of affected you.

Ryder Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Haha, typical I find it difficult when the drift is going one way, and the wind blowing my line the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
