Tight line Tuesday

[hellcorner]

My sons friend has been nagging us to take him fishing for a while now, and being school holidays, I  took the 2 teenage friends fishing. 

After hitting a wallaby at slowish speed only a few kays from the ramp, stopping, and finding minimal damage to the car    ( wallaby took off), we hit the water. 

With a slow start, and the boys using bait, I tried to encourage them to have a go at using soft plastics, but wanted to persist with bait. 

I tried plastics, and after a few colour changes, l landed a 38cm Dusky, and released it.

A little later as the tide started to turn, I anchored up on a drop off.

Within a few minutes, 4 Duskies between 50cm-56cm were landed, and 2 were kept for the plate.

Alot of tailor were caught by the boys around 25cm, and at least that kept them interested until the fish stopped biting.

I  also ended up with a shovel nose ray and a bream  nudging 39cm, which must be my PB for a bream. These were also released.  

A great day out, and we'll do it again soon. 

Thanks for reading Raiders.

Great report. Where were you fishing? BTW, at one stage I thought I was going to ask - what the wallaby tasted like? ...but then I see you practiced catch and release there too.

Cheers
