jenno64 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Knowing that Australia Day on the water is a nightmare unless you are piloting a 60' cruiser I decided heading out on the 25th would be a wiser option, especially for a fish. Launched about 4pm with my beautiful wife and headed around to Gunnamatta Bay for a swim and a snack in the sun. Around 6 we motored up river to some flats and I pumped some nippers so we could spend an hour or so fishing the run out. I was charged with tying terminals, baiting hooks, removing bi-catch and operating the electric motor while my wife proceeded to outfish me by 5 fish to 1 crab! The biggest whiting went 40, the flatty close to 50 and the fat little crab was very unlucky as he let the hook go just as I got the net under him:) It was a great little session interrupted by a hundred pinkies and an airborne long tom but we managed a good bag and couple of cool beers, back at the ramp by 8pm. Looking forward to a relaxing Australia Day with some prawns and a Weber cooked lamb shoulder for dinner! Happy Strya Day Raiders:) 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The definition of insanity is fishing on public holidays,Xmas,Easter and school holidays along with weekends if you ask me.😂🤣 Perhaps that's why I never get out.I think I may be onto something🤔.
