Fab1 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I thought bugger it last night and headed out with the family. Got to the ramp just after 7pm to find one guy coming out and another going in come behind me.I let them launch while we loaded my boat. We headed to around grays point and anchored just off the main channel while we sorted our bait,rods,etc. We fished there for around 30 min using prawns,salted pillys and squid getting fish straight away close in to the rocks.Small snapper to just under legal and a fishing trip isn't a fishing trip without me catching a puffer fish. Time to up anchor and head straight to moored boats at the deep water around lilli pilli. Driving out in the open water crossing the bay it was really blowing and the water was rough. I can attest that permatrim I put on is a beauty and she no longer squats in the bum with a big bum sitting in the middle of the rear bench. The 3 of us are over 100kg each.I'm 125 on my own.I did 44km/h flat knackers through that wind,chop and rough water as per GPS running a 30 poverty pack Yammy on my 420 quinny.Don't know if that's good or bad. We fished for just over an hour around the lilli pilly area for 2 bust offs,more small snapper lust under legal and many real small ones.Out of the trip the only legal fish caught was by my son on squid which we decided to release to give Yowie a chance to get a feed for once.🤣😊😂😂 As usual I'm just thankful we are all healthy and get to get out every now and then as a family as we always enjoy each other's company and have a great laugh like when my son caught a snapper about 4cm long last night.His long shank hook was longer.😂🤣 Thanks for reading the saga and yes we are hopeless fishos. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It’s great to hear you finally got out on the water Fab1. It is very thoughtful returning the legal fish to give Yowie a sporting chance at getting a feed 🤣. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Well Fab, at least you gave it a go. What were the bust offs, kingies or just over sized reddies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab1 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Next time I'm out I'm going to do a handstand on the bow,wedge my rod inbetween my toes and fish a bare hook.I think I'll have as much chance as I always do fishing the proper way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
