Got back down to Batemans for another fishing fish and dragged the old man (NetPez) with me and even got the little bro out of a day at school (Nerriga Kid) Hopefully if they can figure out how to use this they will b e on here soon!!

With the weather so good we went outside past Snapper Is. and found massive schools of baitfish swimming under us, so decided to have a go and see how we went. We caught a handfull of slimy's and set two out as live baits, as well as burling, some baits out and fliking the odd plastic.

First Keeper in the boat was a Nice Flatty Caught on Pilly, and more followed, along with some Ras, Slimys, Small Bream and Snapper and More Flatties..

Dad got the first run on the livebait, and for 30 seconds the Browning Baitrunner was screaming as an unknown fish smashed the livebait and busted across the surface in a big splash, before busting him of on the reef.... No idea what it was but was a decent fish dark on top and silver down low, it took a 30cm Slimy.

Later in the day I got a run on my light gear, it took off at 100 miles an hour and once i started to load it up it spat the lot, whatever it was i doubt i was going to pull in on 3kg..

There was alot of baitfish around and a massive whale that you gotta watch out for ;)

We stayed around Snapper Is. for the full day as we were in the fish right from the start and ended up bringing home a bag of 7 flatties, all over 40cm which will make some great fish cocktails.. Pretty happy with that result for a mornings fishing!

Notice the HAT!!!! Little bro wants to know where to get one!?

He can have mine or get a few off the Jumpus. Nice haul there Rumpus.

haha, Just a stir kkw... Yep Yep

Hey Perry !

Seems that son of yours with the funny looking hat can only catch fush when someone is there to hold his hand

Onya Boys

Jezz that was close. I was in front of snapper then moved over to square head. I wanted to get out wider and had a look around but with the wind and swell desided to fish snapper island. Did you see me? I thought you would of been in the river

Was looking for you mate, saw a boat the looked very similar, but I thought it was a quinny.. We were on the south and south western side up untill lunch time.. There was 2 or 3 boats there.

How did you go?

It's just like a poly owner to disguise his boat as a Tinny

Thats probably it!!!

why do u think i bought a yellow one

Dont know poly

But a good guess is that wanted people to think you were fushing out of a Banana ??????????????

hadn't thought j g, good thinking

Well done Rum on a good mornings fishing.........

or maybe a lemon

Any suggestions to what might take a 30cm slimy and hit the surface as its running?

bronze shark

If you think my polycraft looks like a tinny you and your guide better have another look.


If I had gorn out in a tinny outside and down the coast my back would be like Jumpps. Swell was 2-3 mtrs wind was 25-30knots

With having no luck outside I thought i'd try snapper island, I was on the eastern at about 10.30 side and moved over to the northen side . I caught a few flatheads, whitting and slimys.1 of the live baits only 1/2 came back. I was back at Hanging Rock Boat ramp by 12.30 wher a quenny pulled in behind me he owned a blue ute, mine is white. Where did you launch from Rum?

Batemans???

were you out today or yesterday?

We launched from the bridge..

Out yesterday, left hanging rock about 8.10am

yep it must have been you then... We were closer to snapper is. than you.. small allycraft (4.1) with 3 people in it..

Bronze Shark hey?? yea, thought of shark... But really not sure..

I PM'd you Sir Reel, will have tp catch up down there next time.. do you work weekdays or ya got em free?
