junglejunky Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) Took a study break this morning and went for a flick with the placcys down at the breakwall. Pretty overcast and windy so I didnt have high hopes but surprisingly first cast with a 4inch minnow and I was onto a legal barra. He jumped and carried on a hell of a lot and then threw the jig right at my feet.... Closed season anyway. Trying to justify dropping it... A few casts later, I was slow rolling a squidgy shad and right at my toes again, a really big jack broke the surface, swiped my lure and..... missed... Here we go, one of those days again.... Anyway cut the story short. It did keep firing, I landed a 35cm Jack, a thick set 54cm GT that plugged away forever, two nice fingermark one about 45cm, the other 39cm, and a 70cm flathead. Plus a heap more little GTs and Cod. AND I saw a huge barra crusing along the breakwall, but I couldnt get a lure to it quick enough and it disappeared. I reckon it was 90 - 100cm. When the run stopped and the tide bottomed out, they went off the chew and ive retired back to the study den.... matt.

Guest madsmc Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Great session Matt, even with the dropped and missed barra's. I bet that GT was a fun fight I don't know how you could possibly concentrate on studying after that, I don't think I could. Can't wait to head up that way one day.

Martin Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Thats a top report. Must be hard to study when you have fishing like that at your door step. Good Luck Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patl Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 We used to troll along the breakwalls with the lures bumping along the rocks and used to get some pretty good fish. A guy by the name of David Killalea got some awsome fish doing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenist Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Awesome stuff mate. I wish I could just stroll on down to the local breakwall and catch a quality mixed bag like that! Think I might move up north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglejunky Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks fellas, Yeah its hard to concentrate on study with the options available up here. But then, on the other hand, its comforting to know that I can duck off for an hour or two and get my fix! However, its not always firing up here. You can have many dry sessions between the gooduns... Patl, Yep I reckon working the walls by boat would be even more productive, you'd cover so much more ground, gotta give it a go soon. A mate of mine up here knows Killalea. Cheers fellas, gimme a hoy when you get up here one day! matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
