Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Not a great pic I know, but this is the same critter when washed up on Tahuna beach


My guess is baby squat lobster

Definitely not a nautilus then

Jeeze I cant even catch a cold at the moment.....took @Rocktoy out again for a evening fish afterwork.....the weather was a lot kinder this time and we didnt have any mishaps or burly malfuctions this time.
Wind tide massive burly trail all going same direction...biggish tides....sunset....moonrise it was all perfect except nobody told the snapper.
Red cod on the other hand were plentiful.
On the upside we did not catch even one single spiky dog.
Im dieing to go deep for big snaps but just am not getting a weather break when Im able to go!

Anyway it was a nice evening and we got a few consolation gurnard and rig.

Well I said no more nets till April but I had to Renig on that with the current unusual fishing conditions, this side of the bay SHOULD be fishing well the water temps are there we havent had heaps of rain...suspected the fish are there but just not taking baits due to the abundance of krill/lobster things being pushed into our corner of the bay by the winds of late.

Can say with 100% certainty the snapper are here on our side now just bloody difficult to catch on bait ,jig or lure.

Suffice to say I got a whole lot more than I wanted or needed and had to phone a friend in order to keep it all legal.
A bit embarrassing really.

Went out of Delaware Friday through the high,only grunterscaught 12,kept 5.nasty ene/ese wind had to get in close to the beach,27 ft,16.5°to get out of the fetch.
Wind started pulling anchor,wet ride to the bar.

There sure is a size limit and bag limit is 6 per diver per day. The bigger one there are 2.7 kg

Droped the net off the bluffs on Friday night then picked it up first thing on Saturday morning with 4 snapper in it around the 50 - 55 cm range.Then we raced out to the 30 meter mark off Pepin island for a quick rod fish and landed 3 solid snapper with the biggest being 68cm and 4 reasonable gurnard then headed home before the rain ser in

Had a epic day of awesomeness with @stingray and his Son today.

6 good kings landed on rods also one on longline...weather far better than forcast....crayfish..... just awesome.

Thanks again Joe.

What a day ...how cool is it to be a dad ...when your son has knowledge and shares it with with you and a bloody great mate and success It was one of those days ...one you remember forever we headed for the pass Blake put us on the kings straight up two drifts two kingi's ..then the tide ripped up the turf whirlpools and currents ...we had a third drift VC came up solid and after a bit of a shit storm we boated another very very solid fish ...the tide was ripping so we buggered off changed tack and did some stuff I had planned for years ...which was kind of rubbish because a ripping tide and and strayling doesn't work out so well .

Had a couple of dives again Blake stared with a couple of great bugs whilst I struggled to find my arse with both hands.It was the best day three blokes sharing knowledge ideas and a passion for fishing, VC tied a hell FG knot and Blake hauled another kingi in on that knot ...how cool does it get ...finished the day with pulling the hook line to find ...yes anther kingi on the very first hook a handful of carrots !

The weather turned and with what was an epic huge swell some wave 3m+ slow Long but powerful we set sail for home what a day ..experince knowledge and shared passion for the sea ...wicked very very wicked cheers VC and Blake more photos to follow ...new turf to hunt ....I live a wonderful life !
