noelm Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Had a bit of a wander at daylight this morning, across the road near the end of the beach, where the rocks start, just a few slices of bread, a hook, no sinker (not even any spare tackle) first cast got a keeper Trevally, had another couple of casts, got a Toad, then a keeper Bream, and 10 minutes later a Blue Swimmer…..somehow hooked in the swimmer leg. I can tell you, the water is more than “chilly” but, seeing as my wife is away for a week, it was plenty for me (sorry, no pictures, I cleaned/filleted them already, if I think of it I might take a picture of my “man dinner” just fish and the crab……nothing else, except maybe some bread to make a sandwich, mainly because I get into trouble making sandwiches at dinner! It’s amazing what’s around in populated areas, if you get out early (or late) and just try. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkin Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Sounds like a good feed to me! Can’t beat a no fuss session - Must of been happy hooking that crab! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Good going mate. Bread would have to be the most versatile bait off the rocks. Even caught my PB snapper on it many years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Very nice work, entree and main in the one outing. The water is cool, have been swimming at Wanda and Eloura beaches recently, just body surfing for exercise, and the water is around the 17/18 mark. Need to keep moving or will freeze up. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was a bit unexpected, the water in the little estuary is freezing, the ocean was just icy……it’s common to get Blue Swimmers in the ocean, but not this time of year. It wasn’t huge, but plenty legal, and when you haven’t had one for a while, I wasn’t going to toss it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is, I use it more than anything else, and fly fishing I use a bread fly……the bonus is, it’s nearly always in the cupboard and can provide a snack while fishing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, nice fresh bread, a good coating of butter, and some fish fillets, footy on TV, I get the best seat in the house….does it get any better? I just got a call from my wife in Cairns and it’s raining and cold, lucky she took one jumper and a pair of trackies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
