Little_Flatty Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hi Raiders, I've been ridiculously busy of late but really needed to get a fish out of my system at the same time. So, rain hail or shine, I planned to get out for a fish this morning with my daughter. We decided to station ourselves at Mosman Bay Wharf, where we could fish undercover and enjoy a coffee. Got decked out in full rain gear (including waterproof pants) to frustratingly arrive to blue skies as the sun rose. We were fishing unweighted bread and salted pilchard baits. Not much action to report, except for a legal trev on the bread, which was only spared from the sashimi platter when my daughter asked me to release it. So back in the drink it went. It was rather quiet after that fish, so we decided to make our way towards the playground whilst I flicked a plastic around. No interest in that, so off to the playground we went. That's when we made the discovery: waterproof pants are the best thing since sliced bread when sliding down wet slippery dips and riding on wet swings! Now that's a discovery worth making!

Green Hornet Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Good going @Little_Flatty. Whether in the salt or fresh, bread must be one of the most versatile baits/berlies out there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, when fishing with kids, it's handy because they will readily munch on a slice at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I’ve tried the bread (works a treat), but haven’t tried the WWpants on the slippery dip. - I like your attitude with your daughter, Mix play with fishing and you’ve got a “buddy” for life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Ct Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Whatever needs to be done to please her must be done, even if it is of your own demise. Nice fish, completely contradicting the weather. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 As you say bread is a surprisingly good bait for many saltwater species LF. Great that you found time to get out for a fish and bonding time with your daughter. A nice, healthy Trev there. Cheers, bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
