Scratchie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 G’day raiders, Junior scratchie wanted to head out today and take a mate with him! Another great excuse to go fishing. The fish were still there and still biting hard! Got our bag and headed home! Juniors mate was a little inexperienced which cost me a rod (high sticked) and a few lures but watching his wrist lock on a good king was priceless!!! little boy helping big boy....... the result......... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha ... reminds me of a song: "very superstitious ... writing on the wall !" Well the Mrs and I put that to test on our previous bottom bashing trip together, we brought bananas on the boat, ate bananas for lunch and went home with 3.6kg of cleaned flattie fillets. But on the last trip chasing spears - we took no bananas and ended with no fish ! HMMMMMM ... for me that Myth is BUSTED ! I know what will be in my lunch bag on the boat in the future !

Rock&Beach Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Great fishing Scratchie. The boys look happy. Pity about the rod. How deep are those Kingys they have been on a good paddock. R&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell his mate you have a friend that's a gun fisherman and would love to take him out then send him to me.You'll never have to take him fishing ever again.1 for being a lier and 2 for causing him pain and suffering with me.??Good fun spent with the boys mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... the article states that the escaped fish are all “under legal catch size”. Hmmm... not sure I believe them. ?? Having said that, my old neighbour who worked for Huon Aquaculture said there are usually bigger wild kings hanging around outside the pens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I just heard a report that the police are out at the pens keeping people away. Hopefully that just means the idiots getting too close and casting into the pens. I so want to give it a try next week when I’m off!
