Isaac Ct Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Hello all, after not much fishing over the long weekend down south I decided to get out this morning for a quick fish. Headed out early in the dark up from Lilli Pilli and anchored up. Burleyed up and not much action before light with just one reddie. As soon as a bit of light came the fishing turned right on, with the reddies coming in thick and fast. Landed 3 of the 4 in the photo on the same piece of squid and dad landed the biggest reddie on pilly, personal best for him. Live yakkas went untouched and the squid kept producing. Landed a further 5 just over 30 but released as we had enough. No school soapies or tailor around even though there was more surface action than the last few trips. Whilst cleaning up the fish a kingfish came up in the scales and guts so dropped a live and squid head on him. After about a minute the livie went of, few runs then gone. All in all a good day, beat the rush of boats coming out. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Great report of a memorable trip out for you and Dad. Looks like everything fell into place for you both and especially Dad with a PB. Lovely getting out early and enjoying the experience before the city wakes up. A very clear photo of the catch, trust you enjoy the feast. Cheers, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lag between the end of daylight savings allows you to not get up too early and still catch the sunrise bite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Rice Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Nice bag of fish Isaac, a good feed there. Pity about the Kingie, they have a habit of getting away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Very nice Issac, some legal reddies of a better size for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkin Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Well done mate! it’s nice when they come on like that - even if it doesn’t last for long. Decent sized reddies for inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
