Rebel Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hi All, School hoidays nearly over, so the boys wanted to try something else. Arrived after Sunrise. Cool weather. No Invaders. Set up three rods & away we went. First up one Bonito. Then we caught four more. I caught a nice Snapper ( My puppy will be happy ) Just about to leave & my rod was nearly pulled out of my hands. The reel was off the planet. At first I thought it was a Shark. It was Groper. These fish are as tough as Kingies. Went 38cm. Released for another day. Bait was fresh squid & lures. I had another new rod, Dawia Crossfire Surf 12ft 7-15KG. On special at the moment. Perfomed really well for a budget rod. Headed to the Newport Arms for breakfast. The boys had never seen anthing like the Arms. They had a great morniing. Cheers. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Those grouper are tanks - top fighters. Puppy’s eating gourmet! 👍 won’t like the bream after getting used to having reds! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Another good day out. Sorry but, bugger the dog. Snapper for the human plate only. Tailor for fido. Groper do fight, and dirty fighters at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenno64 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Rebel Great day out and some awesome catches with your boys in the hols! Take some photos when you can, you paint a good picture!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Good mixed bag Rebel. While reading, I was wondering what bait you’d catch bonito, snapper and groper on. Squid makes sense. Well done educating the boys by taking them to the pub on their school holidays as well. There’s some things in life they just can’t learn from their mother.

Rebel Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 @Green Hornet As I said the boys had never seen a place like the Arms. In the 1960's I was taken there. It was a log cabin. You would sit outside on a winters night with a fire going. Great days. Somebody didn't like the place & they burnt the cabin to the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingFables Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Sounds like a great morning on the rocks with a few good fish as a bonus. Congrats mate, great stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 @Larkin& @Yowie The puppy is a five year old Cocker Spaniel. This is our sixth one. This one is different. She is very smart & evil. When I come home from fishing, she knows. Watches me put the fish in the fridge, then lays in front of the fridge till dinner time. Cheers. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
