Which ANSA club were you with and do you still fish under ANSA? I’m with St George Sportfishing Club - our 50th anniversary this year. There’s no ANSA club here in Port Stephens unfortunately. I was with Culburra Beach Sportfishing Club but haven't been a member since I moved a little further down the coast. We used to have an annual comp against the boys and girls from St George. They were a nice mob of people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nowra comp’s in a few weeks but I’ll be working. I always love fishing down there! Edited January 31, 2018 by Berleyguts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill373737 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 This doesn't come close to some of Rick's monsters - a nice flattie from the Sygna wreck on Stockton Beach around 1977, when it was still a wreck. I often used to surf alongside it in the afternoon and fish in the evening. It was also a less enlightened time for me regarding flathead, I would have eaten that one for sure, probably on the beach that night as was often the case.

My current 10/15kg rod is the one I built on a Butterworth JS980 blank. Not a bent butt though. Fuji guides, roller tip. I built it in 1980 and it is still in great condition. Great stick!

It was toward the bottom of the tide, so I managed to wade out to a small bommie & stand on that. I got hammered by white water & ended up with the gaff in my leg at one point! It was a howling sou'easter, so the feathers weren't heavy enough. Ended up using a large popper with ball sinker in front of it on a short trace to get it under the foam. Got them on that.

When I got those two it was on a whim & I didn't have much with me, as it was the 1st time I'd ever fished there & my 1st time ever spinning for jew. Did a lot after that. Did you ever spin the Gosford rail bridge in a flood? I did a bit back in the early nineties & got a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 & I remember you wading out with me & were there when I hooked up to the 2nd, bigger fish. You also helped me haul them back to the car as my hands were full & my leg was bleeding! Mate you're an absolutely top bloke & I always wanted to get in touch with you to thank you for your generosity. Hope you're well, & all these years later, 27 years in fact, thank you!

Jewhunter Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 4kg Largemouth bass caught in Zimbabwe many moons ago on a soft plastic, one of the 1st times I used one, on the cheapest & crappiest fibreglass rod with a plastic reel with an amazingly poor drag! It goes down as one of my best as I was fishing a new spot & the tackle used would be lucky to nail a decent bream. Scanned Image.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
