Benji-martin Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi All, Spending the weekend up at at Forster in my holiday van. Huge storms up here last night and was thinking maybe I would not get a chance to fish this morning. I woke up around 5:30 looked outside and the weather looked ok. Got my rod and plastics and headed down to the wharf. Not many people around and the water was very dirty for Forster after all the rain up here. Rigged up a #3 black and gold squidgey to hope to get a flathead. A few casts in and bang got my first flathead. I didn't have a ruler with me but would not have been legal. Put him back and the very next cast I was on again. This time the fish felt a little better. Put it back in the water and was pretty happy with two fish. A few casts later I was on to another fish about the same size Over the moon with three fish in about 6 casts I put the fish back and the very next cast I was on to another fish. This one was the best of the day After this a school of kingfish can through. I put on a pooper and they followed the lure all the way to the wharf with out taking it. I went through a bunch of lures and all they did was follow it. After having enough of the kingfish teasing me I was pretty hungry so called it a morning pretty happy with four nice flathead.

mii11x Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Well done mate....forster is awesome, caught some great fish up there over the years. If I could give you a tip about leaving your rod/reel on the ground, if you place your gear so the handle is on the ground it wont scratch your spool or body of the reel as it looks like a nice little outfit.......if you have a rain coat, and perhaps a heavier rod, id be casting around the breakwall after all that rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapo Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Nice work mate well done. Never stopped raining down here on the central coast. So we just gathered and told stories of what could have been. Ha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W4z Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Very nice morning mate. Frustrating with those kings. I've heard people say that when they're cruising around in a school they can be very hard to tempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cargo05 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Great work Shark'od. Very nice early morning’s work. I have not had any luck from the wharf at all. This inspires me to have another crack. I hope your luck continues for the remainder of your holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
