Larkin Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Fished south of port hacking with a mate that also jet ski fish’s. He’s new to jet ski fishing, so I was showing him how to drift for flathead. swell and wind was low today A few blue spots about - sizes ranging from 36-48cm. We both managed 10 each in around 2 hours. also caught 6 Bonnie’s - largest 55cm, 4 tailor, 1 rat kingfish. Just kept one tailor and 2 of the smallest Bonnie’s to make more baits. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, it was one of those days where all the sealife was out and about Dolphins (riding our wakes), seals (frolicking around us) and humpbacks (breaching) - saw a huge whale do a full body breach - massive splash that was higher than a two story house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the whales look pretty big from a jet ski. Great day out catching over 20 fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whales are down there now. A mate of mine was out in Jervis bay on Wednesday - said he saw a few. They are definitely on the move at the moment. 35 minutes ago, Pickles said: Nicely done Chris and a great bag of fish.

JustJames Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Nice haul! Bonnies are too good to use (entirely) for bait. The fillets make excellent sushi rolls (with avo). Save the belly flaps for bait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bessel - can’t go wrong with the humble blue spot! 6 hours ago, kantong said: well done on the flatties and bonnies. Good size thanks Kantong, quite a few out there on the drifting grounds. If I can get them around that 45cm size - it a good fishing day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
