Pickles Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) After a cracker day on flathead yesterday, buddies Craig and Josh rang and said what about a kingie session in the harbour. “What a great idea, well get wet, but hey, you don’t melt in the rain, so let’s do it”. We left the ramp in the dark at 6am and head off to the bait grounds. We loaded up with livies in extra quick time and headed outside, but even though swell was less than a meter strong SW wind made the conditions choppy (as well as being cold). We ducked in behind the heads to get out of the wind and sounded up a large school of bait fish. For the next 2 hours we were landing Trevally, Mackerel, load of Yakkas and the odd Barracuda(😞). Josh landed a 66cm salmon. We headed in early to the ramp, but stopped off on the way to catch some Kingies by floating cubes of fresh Mackerel in the berley,stream. Overall 2 good days of winter fishing. Edited June 3, 2021 by Pickles Photos 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 Cheers Zoran - as you know, bananas are only a joke (to make a call on superstitions not based on reason or evidence, in fact last trip I had Josh and Craig with me and I put a banana in the berley pot, and we got a good bag for tea). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hey Neil, anytime you want to take a trip up to Sydney, you’re know you’re welcome to come out and go for a fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob, may be sooner than you think. Murrumbidgee River has almost no water in it at present. Anglers here are all puzzled by what the authorities are doing. The dams are full yet no water coming down. Enough to drive one crackers. Neil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
