Jp2 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi guys, headed south of Sydney for a red or 2 yest. Right at the death as we were about to pull up stumps this PB 72cm jumps on my nemesis gulp using 10lb braid. After a good fight and a scare from a mako we headed home with half a dozen reds. Floated strip baits out fished the plastics today. Great conditions for it as there was little drift. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you mate, usually first light is best but this time we found a heap of bait in 60m which we were dropping on which produced half a dozen quality fish later in morning. We usually travel down in the dark then fish till 10/11am then shoot home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 The last 3 times my neighbour towed and launched near Bellambi way, his boat rollers were stolen, his friend's boat rollers were stolen (and he launched the fibreglass boat onto the trailer without realising that - very expensive repair) and the trailer locking pin was pinched, so when he towed out, the trailer jacked in the middle, and the leg and prop hit the driveway. He won't be going back, something like *#@* you housie trash. 😡 Too much hassle dealing with insurance companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
