GoingFishing Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Gday Raiders been a while since iv posted a report, a mixture of bad weather and being busy have kept me away but i managed to get out today with a couple of mates all 4 of us headed out at 5am, early start. We headed to the northern beaches and the conditions were alot sloppier than expected. 2 of the mates ended up burleying over the side of the boat but they stuck it out and we managed to get a good session in nonetheless. managed some flatties, 3 snapper and hooked a shark which took a snapper as it was coming up the water column, it was good fun for the 4 seconds it lasted before being busted off haha couldnt get an ID. lost the best fish of the day at the side of the boat, a 60-70cm flatty which my newb mate missed with the net 3 TIMES !!!! Spat the hook with a vicious headshake on the surface. fish were spread wide and far and we moved around alot, water temp was 20 to 21 degrees but clean. We called it quits at midday as the wind picked up certainly workd hard for the fish but the boys went home with something for dinner so all in all very satisfied off to the entrance tomorrow which should be fun, does anyone kno if the local bait shops will be open?

Mike89 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Excellent catch you and your mates have managed in trying circumstances! Well done! Pity about the rough conditions, just read about 'burleying over the side of the boat' in two different reports, had me in stitches ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock&Beach Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Nice feed of fish there mate. Must have been a little fun out there.

GoingFishing Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thanks for the replies fellas Conditions the past month or so have been very strange ! Water is colder than expected and sloppy. Generally safe to fish but makes for an uncomfortable sessiion for those who have trouble keeping the seasickness away! hope everyones getting some time on the water this holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end you got a great feed.I would add net training as well as doubling the size of the net for my mate high on the to do list as missing more than twice is pretty bad.lol. Cheers.

Cheers. Net training thats a good idea! Ive been giving him grief about it almost daily so there is some justice haha i wasnt too upset because at that size i would have probably let her go ! A measure and a foto would have been nice tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
