rickmarlin62 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 After launching fri arvo and headin to island we struggled for bait in usual areas with swell coming from two directions and 5 knots of current making my fave spots unfishable we ended up heading to mungo this morn and got a few up there then picked a couple more reds and some bream from washes at little isl on way home.. plenty of slimies on mungo reef and at little isl we ended up with 12 reds from legal to 58cm 3 bream and sunburn no fotos fone went flat will lay some out for a pic ltr...rick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 A good feed there Rick. Plenty of slimies around Sydney off shore as well. Maybe a big beakie in amongst them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish_More Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Well done Rick. We had a crack at Broughton the weekend before and came up donuts other than sharks and undersize. There was plenty of bait just outside Port Stephens on the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Good stuff, Rick! Persisance pays off! The seas looked sweet today, too. I went down to the weigh station for the Billfish Shootout this afternoon. It was very quiet. A few yellowfin and dollies came in this morning and one marlin was weighed. 218kg - a Blue I think (currently leading for the $12.5k prize). There was another smaller one coming in this evening (maybe a 3rd) but I left at 5:45. I think you did better on the reds!

rickmarlin62 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 I suppose i may have been spoilt in the past...i look at a small catch in my eyes not realizing others may think more highly of that amount or size of fish...the fishing was hard last wknd up there my mate fished north of forster and had 6 reds up to 4.3kilo cleaned for two sessions and was dissapointed also but said a guy at cleaning table nearly had his eyes pop out when he seen the reds.....sometimes i think some of us need to take a step back and look at our catches from others eyes and we might appreciate our efforts more...rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Bert83 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I’m heading that way start of March and sunburn is about the only thing I’ll get. Id definitely be happy with the reds you got. Cheers for the report Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
