Scratchie Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 G’day raiders, Headed out with @back cruncher yesterday. We left the ramp pretty early at 4am and made our way down the bay. Tried for livies for 10 minutes but only managed a couple of yakkas. Headed north and tried to get to our spot for first light. We were the first boat there and with anticipation started the drift. A few casts later and Mick was onto a decent snapper and into the net it goes. A few more casts and I managed a pannie and so did Mick. We worked a few different areas and worked bloody hard to find a productive area but the bites were few and far between. I managed to add a couple more pannies to the box, although the morning was getting on and the hope of a good day with the fish on the bite was dwindling. We decided to make the move back home but tried a few more spots on the way. That proved to be a good decision as Mick had a midday cast into the washes and the reel starts screaming. I quickly wind in my line and watch mick play out this fish. A good tussle back and forth and into the net it goes! And with that fish it made an ordinary day well worth the trip. It was good to see Mick get a few as he puts in a lot of effort and yesterday got the rewards. All in all, still another a great day and I’m sure we’ll be back out there soon enough! Thanks for reading, cheers scratchie!!! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get the right casts, into the right areas, with the right set up, with the right techniques and the right lures, then get lucky! We generally do alright 😂😂😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
