Gp 1st Afternoon Options

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Well peeps I recieved a ph call last tuesday night from Dave brurry irriot rang around 10 pm he was all exited after seeing Arnie Dogs report on the jewgong.

Here's me thinking he wanted to fush the bay ?? No not Dave said he had a stiffy & wanted to go down to GP to which I initially said CHOOKS

I haven't really fushed @ all in the last couple of months so the wittle boat hadn't been out since then told Dave I needed a few hrs in the morn to sort out gear & the boat .

He was supposed to have rung me after 8 am to get me out of bed , so what does the bastard do ???

Rings me @ 6.30 am before the rooster started crowing just because he wet the bed didn't mean I had to get up that early.

Anyways peeps picked him up enroute & we arrived @ GP around 1 pm I was stuffed with very wittle sleep the night B4 & wasn't in the mood to drive home that night so we booked into a cabin & went out for a fush.

It's a funny place to fish @ Greenwell fish are never where you left them biting the previous trip & it took us most of the arvo to locate them in the meantime all we were picking up were flathead with the odd bream in between & since Dave wont use a spin outfit he lost out on the flathead so it was all the Jumpus show till we finally anchored up.

Wind was blowing it's arse off which made it hard to use the lecky but 6 flathead were caught on that arvo mind you we didn't find any good pockets of them & it was dribs & drabs from everywhere.

A good producer in past trips saw prob the smallest flathead this time & dave got a few throw back brims 25 cm jobs

Yes peeps I'm refering to The Great Wall of Greenwell ! legend has it that the locals built it to keep the wabbits out but this time it also kept the fishy's out as well



Finally we anchor with the turn of the tide an hr or so away we had a couple of bait rods out & Jumpus was also trying to SP up a Jewgong when his 3kg bait rod goes off & it was screaming I put the spin rod down got dave to hoist up the anchor cause whatever it was was emptying my spool @ a great rate of knots.

Hoping it was a jewgong & when we finally caught up with it saw it 4 wot it really was a bloody Ray with over 3ft of wing span no way I could lift it so just grabed the mainline & busted it off.

Re anchored & the competion between Jumpus & CATCH22 was furious

Jumpus would catch a Brim



CATCH22 would catch a Brim Dave is the only bloke I know who fish's with his mouth full



Jumpus would catch a Brim



CATCH22 would catch a Toad



Seriously though peeps Jumpus was busy with the spin gear & wasn't paying a great deal attention to the bait rod

Lost most of the pics taken cause Dave didn't press hard enough on the button I'd droped the camera a few weeks earlier which makes it hard to take pics.

One one the pics is from day 2 & allthough we did well on the brims that arvo it wasn't till the lull of the tide when sinkers came off & baits were floaters that we cleaned up think Daves brim was best of that session & went 34 cm's it's one of the lost pics but have no fear Jumpus turned it on the next day.

We released alot of fush that day & kept 6 flathead & 6 brims

I even asked you about the the camera on 2 occasions whether you were actually taking pics out of all those pics lucky to have a dozen decent ones.

Shame about the lighting shots none of them were caught on camera

[Majed]

[poly]

Sound like you had a productive and good time as well.

Dave, RETALIATE, drink heaps of the amber liquid before going to bed. That way you can wake Jumpy up each time by telling him you have to go to the loo, turn the cabin light by mistake, bang down (drop/slam) the toliet seat and say sorry MATE.
I bet Jumpy would sleep through the lot.

[CATCH22]

yes im sure he would it takes me 30 minutes to wake him up before 10 am .....heavy sleeper ....true fact

[Arnie Dog]

You were fishing close to where the Big silver ones have been hanging lately but not close enough my good friends. Some nice fish on live yakkas have been coming out of spot "J" not spot"X" on the tide change in the dark but it is bloody cold. here will be some real HOWLERS on the move but it will take time on the water and a good sounder to hunt them down.

Not easy fishing with Dave @ times Arnie unless you want to be inconsiderate

He wont fish lures & only fish's one way so it makes it very hard to chase & target the big silver fish so I have to comprimise

Besides getting onto the bream was good fun & the 1st time in ages I'd gotten onto them in decent size & no's for a long time down @ GP

[Spudly]

opps

You should call in for a coffee when you are down Dave told me on Sunday when him and Ness called in

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Arnie we were stuffed last trip

Makes it very hard when you only makes plans to be down there for the day & you fish till dark that's why we booked in for the night.

Trip B4 when we caught up was a bit different as it was blowing it's arse off & kk /myself thought we'd look up the parrot after we saw the sleepy sign on your door

[Arnie Dog]

You got that wrong I am The Dog Who Don't Sleep

[kkw]

Got to stick up for Slim, here. The Dog may not have been asleep, but his Mrs was... Hairy Arnie was having a snooze as well.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Yes kk & if I recall you made a run for it

Cause you thought there was a bear in the house untill I told you it was Arnie sleeping

[kkw]

I was bacxk in the Navara, with the doors locked, before he had finished saying WOOOOF
