Benzeenees Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Headed to Narooma again 28-30 June and 1 July, with brothers Gerry and Paul. Paul's brother in-law chose not to join us as he likes to sleep late! The bar was perfect all 4 days. Up early for the 1 hour drive on day 1. No kings but bagged out on flathead. Day 2 we collected 2 kings and more flathead. A lot of our yakkas were taken by seals. After noticing a professional boat heading out late we decided to sleep in on day 3 and fish the afternoon. Actually we were on the water by about 10am. Yakkas were hard to come by so we used squid heads and strips of sales bonito and ended up with 5 kingfish to about 82 cm. Plus a few flathead, a couple of small snapper and a longfin perch. This was a new species for us. We motored back to Narooma at dusk and cleaned our fish by the light of a torch. Day 4 was a duplicate of day 3. Yakkas even more scarce, but we had a couple of packets of cuttlefish tentacles. These proved to be dynamite! We ended up with 3 flathead, 3 snapper, a longtime perch and 7 kings to 84cm. Plus a small bonito while trolling out to the island. This time we had head torches to help with fish cleaning and a change of clothes so we could get dinner at a nearby club without panicking the locals. In 2014 the brothers were successful with snapper to 13kg at Whyalla but reckon that kings are a much more exciting proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
