Well for all you none believers, i have been fishing for the last 2 days... Had some success both days.

I decided not to take bait both days, as my 'apprentice' (jumpy) has been showing me a bit about working hard precuring bait and then targeting your catch..

I have two close mates that keep bugging me to go out, so we hit BB Friday. Daniel was handy with the rod, but Jack hasn't fished before.

Fishing for squid, we managed 6 in about 2 1/2 hrs. All different sizes. I told them 'that should equal 6 Kings'.. And they told me where to go.. Literally

Seas were messy as outside, so i only did 1 run of the headlands, while making our way back to BB. No Fish...

Picked 1 rat up at the first spot but not too much happening on the sounder , so we moved to the 2nd spot for 0's.

Molinoux was where we found them. Jack got his first rat on a 10cm hood, so i stripped a bigger one up to save the bait. Daniel landed his 2nd within 5mins, then his 3rd.

The sounder was showing some bigger arches (cause my combo is great) so i changed to a medium sized squid, and Daniel landed a better fish.. It went 70cm.

I put a horse squid on after that and just lost the head, so we stripped thet up and had some fun.

The only dampener on the day, was one of the boys left the bomb down, while the other was on a fish, and i lost the bomb on the rocks.. Bit gutted but it happens sometimes..

Both my mates had never caught a King before, so i was pretty chuffed about this trip.

Fished Pittwater on my own yesterday and chased birds around looking for schools. Had a lazy start, cause Jumpy says fish are still sleeping before 9am. My boat is a breeze to get on and off on your own (I dips my lid to you mate)

I hooked up with a couple of other boats while i was out there and we just helped each other out. I only landed Tailor all day, but another dude scored a big Bonny on a fly.. His fight lasted about 10mins.. It was great to watch.. the bloke did well. He had a 17 ft HH that was an open boat. Looked like it was converted runabout.. Anyways, the boat looked slick.

I only took a few pics of yesterday session as i did it on my own. No size to the Tailor, but it was non stop all day..

Well done Bees I bet you're feeling it now after 2 days in a row old fella.

Ewe bloody Big Porky Tella, this ewe told me that Bees was full of it & that ewe reckoned he didn't even go out to the on flyday cause ewe didn't see any DUCKS flying around & now ewe're sucking up to him ???

Wanka



Still a PadWunGerna I see ? or did ewe leave you're Micheal Jackson CD @ home



Hope ewe didn't drive home after consuming so much Jack Daniels

Not going to bother du ing a nutta thread didn't even bother pulling the camera out.

Went over to the oldies place to wash the wittle goat after the couple of days down the coast, was going to give the big goat a spurt with the gerni couldn't believe how many spider webs on it.

Day looked pretty Goodarus weather wise & thought I'd take it out for a run it had been a while since it last saw the water.

Even made an exception & let TOOVLO come along talk about handicaps

Gave up trying to educate him how to cast a rod he's bloody hopeless but even with a handicap like TOOVLO still managed 20 odd squid in an hr or so.

Original plan was to shoot out to the Fads sum good Mahi of late I was told & whilst Scotty2Hotty'n intended flicking bait/lures.

Sea's were pretty flat but big swell opted to head into the Bay instead just in case wind blew up

Without putting a bait out sounded a couple of my haunts on the way in saw virtually no baitfush @ all so headed off to molly.

Think @ the end of the day there was only 3 or 4 of the squids left, pretty easy to knowsize of the girl taking squidy b4 ewe see it so I let TOOVLO wind in all the wittle shits.

I set up a light stick & would flick squid strip behind boat whenever I saw downrig rod start to twitch the wittle girly's went pretty hard on my stick & only wun took me to the bottom.

Honestly had 4gotten how much room is in the big goat made everything so easy

Fed up with undersized girls took off to oil wharf area found them on the surface so started flicking squid strips into the school.

Was getting a bit annoyed by this time wanted sum ting a@ least legal so took off to a nutta spot of mine & wunce again all under sized.

Day stayed great all arvo & regreted not going out to the fads

WTF??? Write your own reports in your own thread Jumpy!!!!!!! This is my report!!

Think i saw you on the Bommie, Fed! i was upstream a bit, late morning and could see your boat on the usual spot around 10-11am, maybe... I was a little busy, and no-one was there when i got down there..
