iceman191 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi Raiders, This is my first post ever so please go gently on me I've been a member for awhile and just upgraded my boat so I have more to say now. Though I'd give back since I read everyone's reports. The site looks fantastic now too, great job guys. My mate and I decided to venture out late yesterday afternoon from Tunks Park. We poked our heads around the corner and decided she was blowing far too much to enjoy it out there so decided to anchor up at our fav spot at Fridges. We got the burley trail going and pulled up a lot of yakkas and a few taylor. Unfortunately we dropped two big unknown fish that took huge initial runs then nothing, always disappointing but that's fishing for you. It started to get quiet so we decided to move spots, our last rod to bring up had a live yakka on it which we upgraded to a very nice 78cm flathead. WOW what a fight, i'd say one of the best fights I've seen for a flatty over the years. We took some pics and let her go to fight and breed another day, she had plenty of energy and shot back to the depths. I think I need a bigger net though. Had a fun session and felt very relaxed after it, wish this wind would stop though. Seems that mid week is amazing fishing weather and the weekends are shocking, shame I have to work Mon - Fri.

harold Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Great fish and good on you for landing it after such a fight. It sure has been windy on weekends, we haven't been on the boat for 3 weeks and a quick look on seabreeze says this Saturday it is a mite windy yet again.

iceman191 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 So it continues, windy windy windy. Where's the fishing gods when you need them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellcorner Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Great fish Iceman191. Nothing wrong with releasing a good fish either. It's a good feeling when you take a feed home, and a better feeling when you let them go. You're right about this weather though. It's a little frustrating.

yelnats Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Where's Fridges? Near the Spit bridge? How far from Tunks boat ramp is the bridge? Never fished middle harbour but keen to give it a go. Any info would be great. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
