Port Stephens- Comp weekend (added)


Scratchie

Recommended Posts

G’day raiders,

Just a quick report from up here. 

Fished Friday arvo with the family minus the eldest who now has a car and doesn’t know where Home is! (17). Anyway, very windy and took an hour to find a spot but we finally found our target and managed 25 whiting between the 5 of us.

Headed to Broughton after a late start due to an alarm malfunction. It was very quiet and water was filthy and the best temp we got was 19.0 worst was 17.4. 

I only managed one bite on sps but a solid one it was and in came a nice snaps at 73cm. Also scored a sea bream at 35cm and a bonito. Caught a heap of reds at 30cm but all released. Found a pack of rat kings that kept us amused for a while but overall a tough day! 

Thanks for reading,

cheers scratchie!!! 575457F4-AB97-4255-932D-F3B67EECB844.png

Thanks for the report, Jeff. Nice snapper. On Thursday, I got 19 degrees at The Sisters and 20 at Cod Rock.

Hope the water warms up soon!

Cheers Baz. The warmer water is on its way :)

An alarm malfunction ???

 

(If you are near the water, leave some chips outside on a table. The early morning seagulls will wake you with their squawking and fighting over the chips.  :lol:)

A nice reddie there, plus the flatties as a bonus.

Good bumper there Jeff , u know Broughton like the back of your hand , how deep and what jig head mate? 

Lol, I should do Craig, my boat has auto pilot for Broughton! Haha

i was using my usual weapon,

1/4 4/0xh tt nitro jig paired with a 5inch zman shad in coconut ice. This is the best lure/jig pairing for snapper bar none! 

I was fishing in 8-15m of water. Pretty skinny but I was lucky as he headed for the deep! 

If they are on fire, I’ll use a 1/4 5/0xh with a 7inch same colour. 

On the flatty, a 1/6 3/0 nitro 5inch zman in pilchard. 

Next time your up mate, hit me up for a tour! 

Cheers scratchie!!!

You know I don’t care rick! I’ll give any mark away. :) 

That may be but I've been crawling all over Port on my Navionics app and can't locate it! lol Thought it was near the yabby grounds from he pic but now I'm not so sure!

Nice flatties both of you!
