Peter Nelson Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Decided to head to broughton after deciding the work around the house can wait especially after being inspired by Scratchies reports. Got some livies and started drifting. Got 1 after the 3rd drift about 38cm, nothing touched the livey and only got 1 or 2 small snapper all on slimey fillets. Changed spots only to find about 10 boats driving around stirring the place up so wasn't surprised got nothing there. Was messaging Scratchie and he suggested a spot. Wasn't looking good but after the 3rd drift got 2 just legal and a nice 51cm on a slimey head. Sammy the seal soon shut down the fishing so headed home quiet happy. Looking forward to my chefing attempt of a baked snapper 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Good to see you got something for the table! Its hard to get a touch on a livie when you have boats zooming around! That’s why we try to fish during the week! Dinners looking good! They say eat fish twice a week, tonight is my fourth! Lol Gotta love Port Stephens Cheers scratchie!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Nice effort, Peter. Well done! Did you get them drifting baits behind the boat, or casting ahead of the boat, plastics style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody albatross flew into my line when I cast it, it mauled my wrist pretty good trying to untangle it. It flew away but ive got some good cuts and scratches now, hope they don't get infected, ha ha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the albatross I think it's hooked beak would have caused some serious damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingFishing Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Great catch Peter. How good is it to be able to be in touch with someone over the phone and get new marks whilst on the water! The days of technology right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
