Scratchie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 G’day raiders, Just a quick report from this morning cos I’m pretty tired. Headed up to Broughton nice and early this morning. We were on a mission to bag a few reds for Xmas lunch. After playing with a heap of rat kings, we thought it was best to move and try find our target! Didn’t take long and they came rolling in. Then things went quiet so we moved. Then after my mate releasing a decent shark I came uptight! Gave me a heap of stick but manage to land my Xmas lunch in one go! 💪💪 Plenty of rain, sharks, bust offs but we kept casting and got our rewards! Another cracking day in Port Stephens! cheers scratchie!!! 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thanks for all the replies raiders! Sorry for the short report but I was knackered. It was definitely trying conditions at first with some solid swell but it settled down nicely although with persistent rain. No escape in an open boat either! The fish went 86cm and solid 9kg. Unfortunately this fish is not whiskers. It was caught in a different area, although it did have a small hook on its stomach along with 3 whole fish. Nothing of it will go to waste and the frame will be donated to fisheries! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
