james Cutler Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Took the gamble the weather report was wrong. Nice & quite. Just after sunrise. Landed a couple of nice bream. Then a 48cm snapper. Another snapper 46cm & a trevally. Waves were starting to be nasty, so gave it away for another day. Like this retired life. Fishing & football. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Certainly worth the effort to beat the weather, a couple of nice reddies the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Cutler Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 @faker Near the swimming pool. Doesn't really matter. North or South work ok. I find near the pool the best. Rig. 12FT Penn prevail rod 6-12kg with a Penn Spinfisher 6000 reel.. 12FT Ugly Stik Gold with a Penn Slammer 4500 reel. This is a back up rig.

james Cutler Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 @jenno64 Mate I was on my own. While it was quite to start with, the waves were starting to get nasty. Bit hard to juggle taking photos rock fishing. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Cutler Posted Saturday at 06:43 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:43 AM First of all it is the ledge in front of the swimming pool. You have to be very careful of the waves. If it is rough. Move. It can get dangerous. I use mono. I found it less hassle than braid & not so expensive. You can buy a good mono at the half the price of a good braid. I use 20 Pound line. You never know what you are going to catch off the rocks. Especially when a kingfish arrives or a shark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
