Port Stephens- Change of pace


Scratchie

Recommended Posts

G’day raiders, 

Just a quick report from up here. 
 

Headed out early this morning and the plan was to chase some snapper early then try for a few kings. 
Landed two snapper on first and second cast. My mate picked up one on third cast. 
Went to reset the drift and there was about 5-6 boats headed our way! Damn. Moved spots and mate lost a brut first cast in the new area. The crowd began to grow so we moved on. Found a patch of rat kings to play with but had enough of that. So we collected some bait and stuck to the plan. Seen @Peter Nelsonout there. And the poor fella lost two kings. We kept trying and after about two hours, we finally found them. Doubled up we landed both. Then another pass produced two unstoppables on 120lb leader. By then we’d had enough and called it a day! 
Headed home pretty happy we stuck to the plan! 
 

Thanks for reading, 

cheers scratchie!!!

Great catch Jeff . When are you going to organize another get together ? now that my savage is almost ready to go I feel the urge to use it no matter what my doctors say.

It’s been 2 years of restrictions hasn’t it. We are not out of the woods just yet.

It would be difficult to organise anything just yet.

Good to see you out there mate.

theres definitely some big ones swimming around with some new jewellery. That first one I hooked was a horse

Not wrong Pete! One of them I had full locked drag (10kg) and 120lb leader and didn’t get a wind on it 😂😂😂

Thanks Frank. Every time I start thinking about organising something there seems to be an hurdle. We’ll get there one day!

Your not wrong! As much as we’d all like to, at this stage it’s not possible.

Nice pair of kingies there Scratchie.

Change your boat, wear different clothes, grow a beard - maybe the others won't follow you then. 🤣

Hahahahah tried that yowie! They still find me 😂

Are there any fish that you can not catch?  A great effort, well rewarded.

Thanks. Yes a COBIA! It has haunted me forever.
