Roadtrip Day 1- Jervis Bay

[AlbertW]

Good Evening Raiders,

Today is the first day of my roadtrip down to Eden. We arrived at our motel in Jervis Bay at around 4pm and after checking in and setting up I grabbed my bream rod for a quick flick and arrived at a boat ramp with some prawns. When I first got there, I had a little trouble setting up as on my first cast I snag up and break my line at my mainline. After that small yet frustrating experience it was frustrating as people around me were pulling out undersized bream every minute or so, I rigged up a tiny circle hook with a tiny running sinker. Few casts out towards some boats resulted in only nibbles of the small bream schools, however I suddenly had the great idea of fishing right beneath me as I was on a jetty, as I watched my line sink down suddenly my rod loads up and the fish nearly pulls me under but I managed to pull it out and land it with some help of a fellow fisho. Nice silver trevally which measured at 37cm.

It was a bit quiet after that I decided to move to a different wharf, some more prawn on the rig resulted to a just legal 25cm bream and around a bakers dozen of undersized luderick biggest measuring 26cm.

I’m going to try a different deeper wharf tomorrow morning so hopefully I’ll post tomorrow as well.

Thanks for reading

Cheers,

Albert

Good to see your effort was rewarded.  Looking forward to next report.

Nice going Albert. Good to see that area produced a couple of decent fish and what a great way to start your road-trip.

Good thinking to drop a bait straight down too mate. Find the structure, find the fish.

Good stuff Albert. Looking forward to the traveling reports mate.

Oh and the country gets nicer further down the coast as you go.

Good work Albert, as you head further south hit some of the jetties in Sussex inlet up and you have the chance of a few more fish. Try out the front of the RSL if you get the chance.

Well done

Well done Albert. I used to love catching Trevally when I was young as they always pulled hard. 

[Pickles]

Nice session and a mixed bag - you’re in a great part of Gods creation down south - some great fishing territory there. Always good to keep experimenting @AlbertW. Looking forward to further reports.

You are a very fortunate young man Albert, never forget that. I love your passion for fishing! Like everyone else, I look forward to reading your adventures as you make your way South to Eden.

You have come a long way from the kid who knew little about catching fish to the mad keen, try anything teen. You had a very good instructor in Derek, and what he taught you is paying off today.

Safe travels and good fishing.
