Shoal Bay Quick Flick

[bobthelob2341]

Headed up to Port Stephens for work and stopped by Shoal Bay for lunch. Was meant to be windy and raining all day but there was a lull in the weather, so I decided to head to to the wharf for a quick flick for a squid or something. 

Started throwing around a squid jig and now long after a few bust ups started popping up, quickly switched to a metal and hooked up on a few good sized tailor. Got 4 in the span of 30min, not bad for an spontaneous session.

Always have the metal in your tackle box! You've reaped the rewards of that!

Love a spontaneous session.

Cheers guys, when I started the metal was fresh out the pack and after 4 fish it ended up like this.

I guess they don’t make them how they used to, might stick to raiders and twisty’s.

It'd still work! Paint it white if that worries you, but otherwise leave it as it is.

I reckon lures look better after losing some paint, just wished it would’ve lasted more that 4 fish.

Top report.

I love those Gillies white bait lures especially the 40 and 60 gm they catch a lot of tailor, bonito and smaller tuna but I hate the way they lose paint so quickly. Gillies need to look into this for their production process.

Yeah they do have a problem of losing their paint, I was considering using a thin clear coat to have them last a bit longer.

A nice fat tailor @bobthelob2341. When I went rock fishing for blackfish (many moons ago now) I always had a metal in the tackle box and a surf rod ready to go and caught many tailor (and salmon).
