Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Feb 11 2011, 11:23 PM

Since ewe lot are a bunch of A holes never go fushing [not ewe kk I really enjoy daily Vegemite reports laugh.gif ]

Did a trip down to Greenwell Pt last week fushed 4 days & so not to confuse all your wittle brains I'll do it in sections day @ a time

Left home last munday bright & early around 7 am took the big goat, we arrived @ GP just after 10 am stopping for fuel & wee wee's along the way.

All settled in the cabin by lunch time didn't really know wot to go fush for but it was a magic day without a breathe of wind, launched & snuck out the front to the bait grounds saw acres of yakka's ruffling the surface they were everywhere.

A couple of yung fulla's in a tinny tossing lures into the schools chasing salmon which were under them

I started tossing in sum burley in a bid to raise sum slimmy's but yakka's were just to thick with 20 or so in the tank opted to flick jigs out for squiddy's 1st 2 casts produced couple of drifts later w had 7 or so squids also in the tank.

Started the motors & ran the 7 odd miles sth to Beecroft Scotty2Hotty's down we quickly ran out of squids rat kungs to 70 cm's & salmon ended our supplies & the yakka's weren't attracting the same interest.

Pulled everything in & MC Hammered into JB where we'd found slimmy's last trip & wot a surprise the squids unlike last trip were also there
With a doz squids & 20 odd slimmy's in the tank twas MC Hammer time again.

Pulled up parrallel to Drum & Drumsticks this time only wun Scotty2Hotty went down & opted to walk a slimmy up on the surface on anutter rod.

20 minutes later slimmy starts dancing ratchet starts sounding yep we had a Stickhead @ the back of the boat up came Scotty meantime rod with slimmy went quiet gave it another minute or so & wound in a empty hook

mad.gif F***** mad.gif I used braid as bridle thread & it just cut through slimmy's head when marlins grabbed it loop was still in tact I was spewing.

Used rubber band to bridle next wun up out it went & down went Scotty more kungs & salmon on Scotty & yep ewes guessed it Sammy the Plik grabbed the slimmy.

Motored a mile nth to Currarong bommy after that caught many a marlins there over the years, slimmy goes off within 5 minutes but felt no weight bloody salmon had choked on the slimmy & it died, serves it right Ett'n my bait



Called it a day shortly after cause the PLIK had found us wunce again

Off to a flying start Jumpy, was that the first time you've had the big boat down there?
The water looks fantastic, gotta say I'm a little bit jealous.

What do you mean never go fishing? laugh.gif I just haven't really caught anything worth a report in itself.

Posted by: quintrex101 Feb 12 2011, 03:58 AM

Looking forward to the rest of the reports mate.

It's annoying when you lose a good fish to a mistake, you fix the problem but have no luck for the rest of the day ...

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Feb 15 2011, 02:30 AM

Able to move just my posts here have copy of ewe lot's reply's but cant post them without opening your accounts

So not much in this thread is in sinc



Day 2

A nutter great day on the water weather wise like a lake going through the so called bar down there yakka's were still ruffling the surface out front but didn't bother stoping.

With conditions so GooDarus thought hitting out wide would be the go today MC'd straight out to the banks didn't take long @ all but was surprised to see so many boats out there.

Out went the lure spread & a pair of cord lines with stripy lures, stripy's had been non existant on the Banks in my previous trips down there & every time we had gotten wun it twas converted to a marlins.

Spent a couple of hrs trolling the banks without so much as a looky so decided to head out east, had 4gotten to look up gps marks for the Fads b4 leaving but managed to find the wun cause it was located on the Block a few miles out from the Banks worked it for a while for no result.

Water was cobalt 24.8 deg but looked lifeless till we hit 80 fathoms signs started looking GooDarus there birds working schools of stripy's cord lines were going off regularly.

I run cord lines for 2 reasons.

1* They locate fish when ewe cant see them breaking surface or on the sounder
2* Alow me to stock up on bait cant beat stripy fillets for snappa/bream bait

But I never slow the boat down wunce hooked up chance there is a big fush under on the schools cord gives good grip & the twick is to get the hooked fish to the surface where it is skipped on top of the water making it very easy to haul in prob lose 60% of them if hook hasn't found anyting solid to latch into.

Anyways TOOVLO was hopeless kept losing evey wun of them laugh.gif eventually I got the shits & showed him how it was done on numerous occasions but he still kept losing them.

Still a few miles short of the JB canyons thought I'd start slowing the boat down wunce we got double hookups just so we could fill up tank then get on with the task of trying to ketch a marlins.

Double hookup wumce again so I backed of the throatles to 1000 rpm got my stripy in quick smart TOOVLO was hopeless his fish was dictating wunce again started feeding out my cord line turned around my back to stern of goat must've hit a pot hole out there & latch wasn't secured on transon door.

Well I went flying out the back into the drink banging my shin on way out couldn't believe how stupid TOOVLO was was I was yelling @ him him to turn the boat around & he stood there like a stunned mullet laugh.gif

Remember the motors were still in gear sitting on a 1000 rpm & the boat was moving away from me a bit of quick thinking had me grabing the cord line @ least now I didn't have to worry copping a pair of 10/0 hooks from wun of the lures still out.

Still couldn't believe how thick TOOVLO was I'd been in the drink a couple of minutes & he still hadn't done anything to assist well that was about to change twit then hit the throatles & I was water sking that's when I really got the shits & started yelling out to neutralise the motors couldn't trust him if I'd said turn them off in case they had to be re-started without me on board.

Reckon I had the shits got worse from where I was I could hear my gears crunching & he still stood there like a stunned mullet didn't think I knew so many swear words but I did mad.gif

Anyways I pulled myself on board using the cord line knacked as I was turned to TOOVLO & told him if he opened his mouth with an excuse I would deck him I really had the shits not because I fell in water was great
I had the shits @ just how STUPID he was

Anyways back to the task of fushing we'd covered a bit of ground & were nearing JB Canyons came across a pair of floating logs had to be mahi under them I thought but wasn't I wrong did quite a few pass's b4 leaving them behind finally pt rigger comes up tight & breaks rubber band but it was only a big striped tuna, a while later it breaks again this time ratchet gives off a short burst I look out to see a striped marlin bill whacking the lure but no hookup.

Spent a couple more hrs out there B4 starting the track back, couldn't believe how good the water was add to that logs etc we'd found but no fish.

After trailing the goat etc showered went to see a couple of mates who live in GP to say hello & get sum local knowlegde

Used to fish with Greg Finney back in the good old days wated a few video's whilst we chatted got to tell ewe guys sum real impressive footage of GooDarus fishy's.

Wasn't to impressed watching video of yung Andrew's mis app where a tiger had pulled his hand clean through a bollard whilst tracing I'm a sook when it comes to stuff like that.

Mr Shinny Head would've got a laugh watching sum of the footage, Fed they did a Jasper on greg's daughter
Wun of my old tricks got her fighting a Bucket laugh.gif laugh.gif

Anyways got told not much happening out wide most of the action on the banks using slimmy's as bait also got told where the slimmy's were these days upon leaving ducked across the rd & surprised a nutter old mate I hadn't seen since LBG days

Chris was fushing next day as well

Day 3

Prob the worst of the weather days raining all day wind got up to about 12 knots from the south @ it's worst.
Pretty easy to find the slimmy's out front cause of all the boats allready there fushing for them but still had to contend with the huge amounts of yakka's getting to jigs 1st.

10 or so slimmy's & a shitload of yakkas in the tank pulled anchor & made way out to the Banks soon as we got there saw boat releasing a marlins & thought that didn't take long cause that boat left bait grounds 45minutes b4 we did twas looking good.

Bridled up a slimmy as surface bait & put a yakka down on the Scotty1Hotty, shitload of goats out there for week day would not have caught out dead in 1/2 of them cause it was bucketing down alot of wet fisho's out there visibility wasn't the best either @ times.

45 minutes later we had a hit on the slimmy [bill whacked wun side] but did not come back for it, so out with a fresh baitRadio chat had Dads Boat hooked up sort of they'd put a couple of guys in a Hobie & Hobie was hooked up felt solly for those 2 it was pissing down laugh.gif laugh.gif

Waited for rain to ease & took a few shots from a couple of 100 meters away made it hard cause a good size swell was running & kept losing them in the swell



They were on the fish for ages but finally got it with a tag, next couple of hrs really gave me the shits lost 8 slimmys wun after the udder

Yep ewes guessed it Sammy & the PLIKS rocked up lose a bait wind in power a mile or so away set baits again & Sammy would find us other boats were having same prob.

Did manage to hook wun of the PLIKS tongue.gif it spooled the threadline

I'd had enough by this stage with only 2 slimmy's left swithched to lures didn't bring outriggers so only ran 2 lures & the cord lines kinda was hoping for a striped tuna to bridle up started heading out to the fad a mile east of the Banks reel went screaming off looked back & @ last a marlins just finished getting in udder rod & cord lines & didn't like wot I wasn't hearing.

Plik had spat the hooks after a 100 meter run mad.gif a couple of hrs later we were back @ the Banks boats had virtually disappeared except for 2

Just when ewe thought it was safe to put out baits the PLIKS found us just as quick mad.gif

Just not our day, picked out a couple of dead slimmys stitched them up as skip baits pulled them for an hr or so & called it a day

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Feb 17 2011, 09:53 PM

Day 4 final day

Have seen sum stupid things in my life day 4 is up there with the best of them cant believe how stupid wun person can be

Yep I'm refering to the human brick aka TOOVLO

Out front getting livies on the bait grounds slimmy's were a bitch this day managed 4 in over an hr TOOVO's rod starts going skitso knew it was bigger than a slimmy tuned out 2b a nice small salmon so I got the net out didn't want to lose it thought it would look good on a bridle.

After netting it I left TOOVLO to get it in the LBT & put the net away I'd just lit a cigga & was facing stern when I heard this allmighty gushing noise b4 I even turned around 2 C wot the hell happened [1st thing I did was put out cigga my mind was thinking fuel & I shat myself]

Went I looked around all I could see re-phrase that I COULDN"T SEE ANYTHING cause there was this great wall of wot looked like white smoke again I shat thought sum ting had caught on fire till I realised wot had happened.

TOOVLO happened !

Idiot had somehow managed to knock the pin out of the fire extinguiser & activate the trigger all in wun allmighty attempt trying to put the net back a near impossible task unless your name is TOOVLO mad.gif

Boat was covered in white stuff & not the white stuff from this little fello 22.gif lucky only 2 udder boats were around to see they had a good laugh I just stood there shaking my head & yelled out to them

He's not With me mad.gif

May have allready guessed TOOVLO is now barred permantly from my boats not for his stupidity that cant be helped got told his mother used to hold his head under water for long periods of time when he was wittle @ bath time.

He got barred 2day when I was told he'd gone around telling everybloody how he saved my life [those who hadn't read day 2 wont know wot this is about] & the fire extinguiser ?? well he told everybloody pin was allready out & it wasn't his fault.

I may tell porky's but I do it for a stir & you'd have 2b SumDumCun not to know when I'm doing it laugh.gif TOOVLO was serious when he told his PORKY'S

Anyways decided to pull anchor & make do with bait we had not a breathe of wind but the sea's had come up from previous day so mossy'd out to the Banks @ ltesurly pace moreso to give TOOVLO the chance to scrub down the boat.

Banks was vacant except 4 wun boat 1/2 a mile away I knew it was Ajax & knew wot they were up to when I saw the spray system working aft, grabed the cord lines & let them out was hoping they were targeting stripy's, set up 2 rods with traces in anticipation ready with bridling gear.

Soon as we got within 100 meter they packed up hadn't seen them pole a single fish but did see them tossing net fulls of livies in so thought wot a good place to dip a bait.

Worked out after 1st 2 days TOOVLO was a hinderance instead of a hand when I was bridling so told him to steer boat NORTH we were 300 meters from my mark @ this tme but when I'd finally got baits in the water salmon up top & yakka on Scotty & took over the wheel we were 1 nautical mile SOUTH of where we started.

Had allready lost my block 5 minutes earlier with TOOVLO so kept quiet about latest stuff up by the way nose of boat was facing sth guy has got no navigational skills wotsoever.

Ewes want to hear why I spat the dummy earlier huh ????

I'd just finished bridling the salmon all the rods were in their holders centre of boat [fish box] only wun rod had a trace attached twas the wun I'd just bridled the salmon to, when I droped the salmon behind the boat silly bugger wanted to swim around the props so I held it there & asked TOOVLO to bring the rod over to me so as I could feed out bait.

Wot does TOOVLO bring me ????????????

Wun of the rods with no trace mad.gif I lost it mainly because of the bait asked TOOVLO how many stupid pills he'd taken that morning & where they bigger than his brain he didn't know wot he did wrong that should explain the guys mentality to those who haven't met him.

Back to fushing corrected the boats course headed back to my marks it took us 1 1/2 hrs to get there current was raging washing machine was working those who've fished the Banks in heavy current will know wot I'm on about & if I rev'd motor over 1000 rpm salmon started spinning on surface, thought it had been taken broke release clip & ratched was screaming then it stopped.
Waited a few minutes engaed drag & slowly wound in salmon didn't look to healthy but not a mark on it so put him back in live bait tank we were now 1.2 NM's from my mark so with everything in I just hit the throatles had wasted enough time in dead water.

Opted to bridle a slimmy this time up top & yakka on Scotty took about 20 minutes clip releases on slimmy with ratchet howling I ran to Scotty [didn't trust TOOVLO] wunce done my attention went to slimmy ratched had stopped & I didn't like that.

Ruled out Sammy the PLIK 2 much current so slowly started to reel in slimmy new hook wasn't empty but never felt any serious weight, slimmy comes in with broken neck & bill marks. NOT HAPPY JAN mad.gif

Annalised situation thought it best to pack away baits & put out lures current was way to strong did a few laps of the Banks then headed out to the Block where we'd had a strike day b4 velly quiet even out in 80 fathoms where we'd found schools 7 schools of stripy's 2 days earlier tracked out to 500 meters & headed sth to JB Canyons current was raging even more out there but figured wunce on cayons & time to head home I'd just pull in & hit throatles like a lake out there except for the 3 + meter rolling swell.

Just as we arrived @ 1st canyons wind started picking up from the bloody NE big trawler on canyons dragging net squillions of birds behind it eating wotever slipped through net worked behind them for 1/2 hour but it was to hard with current & now a picking up NE wind pulled lures in & called it a day bitch of a ride home as well.

The End

We also talk about catching marlin from a kayak with Rob Paxevanos as you can see from the photo the marlin is just visible below "yak"in the blue water of Jervis Bay.

Fishing has really gone back to the primitive roots hasn't it. This craft is a hightec version of the islanders lakatois, even to this day they catch giant marlin, sharks, sailfish and tuna from the little outriggers, right out at sea, to feed the village.

Well that's a load of crap to start with, recall the day well good 2.5 - 3 meter swell rolling in from the south with around a 13 knot southerly blowing as well.

Hell I even took it easy on the throatles getting out that day took me 30 minutes from crookhaven heads 2 do the 8 NM's

Wot R we talking about from Huski ??? got 2 be @ least a 20 odd NMile trip.

Besides Dads Boat moors @ Greenwell Pt

1/2 your luck, I did a TOOVLO 2day rolleyes.gif

Went sth 2 fush Bandits as soon as I got to Bellambi ramp I realised I'd 4gotten sum thing I knew this cause it wasn't on the goat that's wot gave it away that I didn't bring that which I'd 4gotten.

The 4gotten thingy was back @ home cause I'd 4gotten it there & I wasn't going to go back to get the 4gotten thingy which I'd 4gotten to bring & left back @ home.

The 4gotten thingy which I'd 4gotten to bring was my bag no ordinary bag let me tell ewes uh uh, The 4gotten thingy which I'd 4gotten to bring which was my bag had all my 4gotten thingy's in it.

The 4gotten thingy's I'm refering to were Sounder, GPS, Gumballs, Harness's etc so I knew we were in the shitty poo poo club

Just confirms I hate early starts, had a dream last night that I'd 4get the bag as well

Had no idea all day till lunchtime where we were think @ wun stage we were close to the shelf then a mate ling ling me told me he was on Bandits so I headed back in.

No shortage of striped tuna but that's all we got couple of marlins wun around 150 kg back @ the ramp caught on Bandits, mate had a take 30 meters from us dropped the bait & followed teaser to the goat.

Called it a day not long after that I was driving around blind.

Nutter mate ling ling this morn wanted to see if I wanted to go fush with them off Sydney, just returned his call they went wide wide + Nth dropped 1st marlin that took lure, Yung fulla [12 yo me tinks] got put in the chair for 2nd fish, well done yung Brock est 160 kg Blue released

Posted by: Sir Reel Feb 20 2011, 04:52 PM

Hey skippy you can keep your dumb friend, ive got enofgh of them lol
Does he at least use his own rods and tackle, buy you lunch or put money towards bait and fuel?

Would b difficult without a gps so far out to sea, very old school stuff when It didnt mater where you went you could catch a feed, but not these days. Yesterday mine had a loose conection which was easily fixed , by the time I got my head out from under the dash we had spun 180deg and would of been heading back in without the aid of a gps or compass.

No complaints there, overall he's pretty harmless just Hopeless & Stupid even put up with his stupity on trip down to GP but there's wun thing I wont tolerate & that's

BULLSHIT

Warned him on many occasions about this subject I'm no dummy & have a very GooDarus Memory catch him & others out all the time

Wot piss'd me off this time I pretty sure I posted on old site [missing posts]

I got ling lings from peeps telling me the story of how he saved my life & how my boats are falling to pieces [that wun was to cover his stupidnesswhen he slammed fire extinguisher]

QUOTE

Not @ all used to do it all the time back in the days B4 GPS's, just need 2b be aware of conditions when tralling out direction of swell how much current is running even yesterday still figured not much more than 1.5 knots of current just by listening to the way motors were reving & watching performance of lures.

QUOTE

Like I said ewe need to be aware of conditions on way out they'll show ee the way home, do recall wun trip many moons ago in days b4 GPS out wide on the shelf water was like glass I was on yft for 2 1/2 hrs so wasn't paying to much attention mates boat which I used to skipper.

Everything went black that day wind came up out of nowhere water sprout heading our way couldn't see land & to tell the truth I had no idea where east was elect storm had the compass doing 360's.

I'm pretty GooDarus @ prob solving unscrewed compass from bracket cut wires & got my mate to hold itout the back of the boat, I'm refering to the compass not my 22.gif

Gave me east & that's all I needed
