Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

The gunnels is a bloody stupid place to put your fish measuring device anyway

Thanks for yet another great day out, despite all the above

I did try to convince the skipper that I was merely trying to ensure that he would have the chance to recatch it when it HUGE

Well I finally got @deer243 out for a fish this morning.
Conditions were fantastic but the fishing was tough.



Lots of baby grey boys and not much else at the prime time of day and tide prompted a change of depth, finally a nice fat snapper on the strayline and a big gurnard boated but then we run out of tide and the shit fish turned up.

Saved by the longline we come in to escape the heat with 6 fat snaps(bloody lost one at the boat it snapped the trace ) and a few gurnard.

Coming in "the cut"

It was the first one and it snapped it while I was getting the net shoulda just lifted it in.....naturally it was the biggest one by quite a margin
They were very fresh and I just cocked up really, I left it about 2-3 foot down while I got the net which was ready and took 2 seconds but that gave it time to turn and power down, I should have wound it right to the surface so it had no traction....oh well.

Cant find a good decky for trying aye

Had the easiest fishing today. Dropped off mates dive bottle this afternoon. Had a cup of tea while I waited for him to get home, was handed 2 snapper fresh off the boat and drove home

Cheers for a great day out Cam Thought my bad luck with snapper was going to play out again but Cam saved the day with some nice fish. Like a milk pond out there today, couldnt of asked for better other than some more action on the rods but cant complain. Top bloke that guy Veitnamcam , even a expert on small shark catching

Conditions were not what was predicted got a decent feed of sea perch & only one blue cod .

I have never had a weekend that good. Im in bed fully poked. Update tomorrow

Fingers & toes crossed we can get out to the deep trench ( 60+ ks off canterbury ) . Target species big trumpeter . Getting Very excited

yeah I'll probably go for a paddle Board at first light and harl at the same time. Agree about the taste of Trumpeter.

@mikee has summoned me to get up at @veitnamcam o'clock to go sharking! After last weekends effort I'm packing extra tucker and tea. Can't wait to catch up with him and yarn his ear off ..poor bugger is in for a lonnnnnnng morning!
