South Coast Late Report

Hi all,

Bit of a late report from some of the great fishing i got up to last week

Sat 19th April

After a bit of a later start then planned due to my lack of organisation with ice decided to go and do something that i had only tried once with a mate, so headed out to the deep water to fish plastics for reds, after arriving at the spot to find the wind to be stronger then expected set the first rod out while rigging up my second one, got the second rod all sorted only to find my first drop to be tangled in the prop, so proceeded to spend 10 mins balanced on the motor clearing the tangle, got that all sorted and got my jig back to find a nice clean hook, great jackets was beginning to wonder if it was all worth while.....but the next few hours sure proved that it was going to be. 

Next drift over the reef and bang onto a nice red, after a short battle had landed that and into the esky it went, next couple of drifts went by without much going on other then donating to the jackets, until i manged to get into another good red, all the while my mate is fishing with bait and getting nothing. About 8:30 was thinking of calling it quits as i had had enough of giving away plastics when i got a solid hookup, got a couple of winds on and bang it let go, opened the bail arm and let it back down to get hammered again this time the hook was set, got 2 winds and off it went screaming half my spool out before i could get another wind in, this was much the same for the next 10-15 mins would turn the fish get a few winds and off it would go again, finally got the fish up to find i had landed a solid amber jack, was so stoked, so final tally for the day 2 reds both around 2.6kg and the amber jack weighing in at 6.68kg

Sun 20th April

After a slow start due to deciding it was a good idea to go drinking on sat night headed out to the deep again, got nice and wet on the way out and had a tough morning, managed only 1 red and donated an unknown amount of plastics to jackets before i decided to pull the pin on the day

Wed 23rd April Anzac Day

Headed out nice and early on my mates boat, spent half hour getting some fresh bait before blasting out to the deep again, first few hours where slow fishing both baits and plastics, got sharked and jacketed god knows how many times until my mate got us off the mark with a nice red, a few drifts later and im onto a solid fish battled it out to finally land a stomper of a red high fives all round, did another couple of drifts for zilch so decided to head in close and berley up. Once in close it didnt take long landing another 4 reds between us and a nice gummy shark. Finally weighed my red in that evening weighing in at 4.81kg couldnt be happier by far the best red i have landed couldnt be happier with it.

So what a great few days of fishing, photos to follow as i couldnt fit them in here

Great report and info Rozza. They are some cracking reds you got there!! I went out with my dad on Tuesday 24th for not much as the Kiama Fad was not in the water!? We were going to target dollies but had to change our game plan. But we got into some solid squid on the way in for a feed!! They hit the live yakkas, then switched to a jig to boat them.
