Yowie Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Before I headed out this morning, I threw out a line at my mother's place and picked up the bream. There have been a few good ones about lately. Headed out to the deep water up past Lilli Pilli. Picked up the tailor and flounder on strip baits. Flounder is a bit small, was going back but it had 2 ganged hooks in it's mouth and gills and was not looking too healthy. Bitten off by a few tailor as well. Plenty of reddies, but all just under sized. When the tide stopped, I headed to Maianbar to pump some nippers, then the wind turned to the south. 3 flatties pulled out but only 1 legal. While I was standing in water half way up my shins, the jacket followed a nipper until it was beside my feet. The hook was too big to hook it, and when It had nearly eaten all the nipper, and not been hooked after a few attempts, I grabbed it near the tail and dropped it into the boat. A different way of catching it. A lot of time for not a lot of fish., though happy with the size of the bream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of a fishing outing many years ago, when a mate's father wanted to catch a few jewies ( when the jewies were biting big time in the Hacking) He kept wanting to go fishing, so I took him to the jewie spot, let him use one of my lines, hooked up the bait and cast out (handlines only) and I fished at my end of the boat (about 6 foot apart). I pulled up a few jewies, and he caught nothing. He complained about everything and wanted to swap sides, so we did. I fished at the front of the boat and used his line and he used my line at the rear of the boat. I caught more fish and he caught nothing again, no bites at all. Took him home and he never wanted to go fishing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens alot when i take friends out for a fish, they would using the same bait, some hook size/tackle and id be catching most of the fish there are so many variables that can make a big differrnce !! How the bait is presented on the hook, how much slack line is left out/angle back to boat etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
