Yowie Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Just one of those crap days. Headed out early this morning to Lilli Pilli. Bait stealing reddies, undersized, pinching everything thrown at them. Fresh yakka strips were attacked, then nothing happening. A shovel nose about 3 foot pulled up, grabbed his nose then removed the hook, then dropped a bigger one when the hook pulled. Tangles in the line, could not be removed so cut off some line and re-hooked. Headed to South West Arm, threw lures about for NOTHING. Pumped some nippers at Maianbar flats, drifted the ballast heap for NOTHING. Not a bait lost. Tried Lilli Pilli flats, almost straight away, probably a bream, hook pulled out after a second or 2. Second one, hook pulled again. Drifted the same patch, hooked pulled again. 4th bream, on for a little while, taking line, hook pulled again. Some kayakers nearby heard me say Darn, or some other word of 4 letters. 🤣 Finally kept one hooked, and eventually ended up with 3. Some time between bites. Tried a secret spot, NOTHING. Down to Maianbar flats, NOTHING. Gunnamatta bay flats, NOTHING. Finally arrived back at mum's after 5 or 6 hours to put the boat away. Mum was thinking of calling the water police as I had been out for so long. Left her with 1 bream, the other 2 for the missus and myself. Just one of those shit days. Not a whiting to be seen anywhere, boats and jet skis buzzing about, no surface action to be seen. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in one of the bays on the southern side of yowie when as a 6m vessel in the same bay decided it was time to leave & just powered into the bay without even looking & almost got cleaned up by the police cruiser coming from gymea at speed. I could see the cop shaking his head but kept going as he looked like he was on his way to a rescue/emergency. I now avoid fishing at all during this time.

Just one of those days I should have stayed in bed, well, not really, good to be out on the water. Edited October 7, 2020 by Yowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good time to fish, however, I'm not staying home just because of school holidays. In saying that, will not be out there on the weekends, the worst time of all.

Voices echo across the water, louder voices echo further. 3 tangles in the one day, 2 on the rods and 1 on a hand line. Sometimes a knot will not un-do, that was it yesterday.
