Yowie Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Headed out this arvo towards Kurnell. First drop obviously over a patch of reef. No sounder so did not know it was there, other than a slightly snaggy bottom. Eventually snagged up and not able to retrieve, snapped off. The 2 piggies pulled up, plus other reef critters - red rockie, maori wrasse, sweep, little reddie. So moved and found the spikies in big numbers just about everywhere. Kept moving around and found the blue spots not long before sunset, plus 2 just unders. A lot of penguins sqwarking around the boat, but hard to see in the chop. No whales again, so maybe all are to the north. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife and I can make that 2 feeds, so happy there. I was thinking of heading south yesterday, however, I was trying out the new boat I obtained from my brother so stayed closer to home for the first run. Good luck tomorrow.

Cheers, bn The new boat is about 15 foot, wide beam, and the 60 H.P. motor has some kick to it. I had to hang on tight when I gunned it, otherwise I would have been flying out the back of the boat. 🤣 A change from the 15 H.P. on the old boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Nice bag of fish Dave! A mate was out there on Sunday, said plenty of small spikies about too. Where’d you end up launching from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
