Eastern Suburbs blackfish session

[Oli]

I woke up early to catch the bus from the city to the Eastern suburbs to gather some cabbage for bait and burley. The conditions were very pleasant, and within minutes, my friend and I had gathered enough to last us the whole day. With plenty of bait, I made a fifteen-minute walk to another set of rocks with my friend to chase some blackfish at around eight in the morning. My mate used a metal lure, while I targeted blackfish. For the first hour, there were no bites, but the action started to increase as the tide got higher, and by half past ten, i had caught two blackfish. My mate finally decided to try for blackfish after not having much luck with the lure, and in a few hours, he managed to get three, with two being around the 1kg mark and almost 40cm long. If the hooks were set correctly, we probably would've gotten about five more fish, but I was content with our catch, so we decided to leave after we had been fishing for around 6 hours. 

Cheers,

Thanks for the nice comments

The blackfish were beer battered and they provided a great feed for dinner

Cheers,
