the skipper Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I fished it with Scratchie in late August with no luck even though we had close to perfect conditions but water temp was still down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 All I can say is “good luck”. I fished it last Friday and still couldn’t find the buggers. Found a solid patch of kings though. We caught about 20. Mostly rats but a few keepers up to 75cm. The slimies are starting to return so hopefully the fish come with it! Let me know how you go! cheers scratchie!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Glad you got the chance to wet a line Rick and thankful that you escaped the storm without too many problems. Shame the fishing wasn't real good though. They've gotta start turning up soon. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
