Scratchie Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 G'day raiders, Just a quick report from up here in Port Stephens . Went out this morning with mate Dom in pretty sloppy weather and expecting to get a little wet! We managed to find a few fish and I got completely smoked by a good snaps that made it back to the reef before I did and managed to pull the hook! Grrrrrrr! But I had the last laugh as we managed to bring a few of his brothers home! Water temp- 19.6 Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate not up at Broughton. To be honest spent no time looking for them either. We only use sps chasing snapper! Had a live bonito out all day for no takers! Still upset by the one I lost though! It was definitely a big bastard! So there up there mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep trying to get back out there but something always seems to crop up. ? Just had Wed to Fri off but a pipe in the kitchen burst and flooded the celing below Wed morning so it's been tradies in every day and I have to be there to discuss things with them and the insurance company. ?Bloody frustrating when I know the fish are going off!!! ? Hope it all gets sorted soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
