Pickles Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Raider “Hugh” sent a message last week to get together and celebrate end of restrictions with a fishing session with his young fella “Theo”. We set either Thursday or Friday as the date, as the prediction was for rain and wind early in the week looked accurate. I’m glad we settled on Friday as Thursday was a shocker - wind, rain including thunderstorms and hailstorms. Friday was looking good in the morning, but unsettled in the arvo, so decided on local, rather than the harbour chasing Kingies, another good call as one of my buddies went to Brooklyn and was forced in early due to crook conditions. Using live prawns, we caught the runout tide at Webb’s creek, then down to Wisemans. Total catch for the day was a bit disappointing, but we ended up with a feed of flathead (3 keepers) and a nice bream of 38cm. And junior Raider “Theo” was excited to bag his first ever Jewfish - one at 39 and 42cm - released of course, but fun on light bream gear. Although not a report to “write home about”, the fellowship was great and it’s always a joy to get young blokes (and gals) out fishing - memories in the making. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmk1962 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Never a bad day on the water…especially with like minded company… the feed is a bonus. BTW maybe the title should have been “2 and a 1/2 FishRaiders” cheets Zoran 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLon Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Bob Good day out in my books. Also i have noticed you mention live prawns a couple of times in recent report. Can I ask if you buy or catch them for bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hey MacLon, I’ve got a mate who owns a prawn trawler and I get them off him (still kicking). I have scooped them up in the mouth of the Colo on a runout tide when there is new moon (dark) though. Most of the operators will sell them to fishos if you have a bucket and pay cash, but if you approach when they are trawling they (understandably) get upset, so have to wait till nets are up and they’ve finished their run (can mean quite a wait) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Thanks for such a fun time Bob. Theo loved getting his first Jews even if they were undersized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
