recurve Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Nice work, great looking fish there mate. Took my brother in law out on a few days ago from Bellambi. His first time fishing in Aus as he is a Kiwi. Second drop in Australian Waters and he straight away gets on and lands a 68cm snapper. Some good fish around at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped in on the way home from work last night at the house in Corlette where the guy sells bait and tackle from and was talking to him for a while. Said I can’t wait for the small blacks to come in close. He said they won’t be far away. Reckons you can walk on slimies from Broughton to Seal Rocks! I figure I should be able to catch bait at Broughton rather than stop at Mrs Murphy’s or Cabbage Tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield28 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hey Rick, how was the water colour while you were out in the arvo? In the morning it seemed to be like a lime sort of colour. Not sure if shut them down while we were out there. Cheers Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hey omally these reds are from broughton island you can get big reds off sydney..i mainly chase them out of the bay..its getin harder to get them out off the central coast so an hr and quarter drive is value..rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got 20.4 and a distinct lime colour to the water! Nice work all the same Rick! The lightning would have been epic and scary from where you were! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
