Full Version: Two Hours On The Rocks

Had an outing lined up for Port Hacking this arvo. Hoping to get into some bream. I should have learnt my lesson with my 'mate' by now. Nine times out of ten, he cancels at the last minute.
Anyway, I just felt like wetting a line, so headed off to Jibbon (NOT Jibbion, Daniel) to float some weed around the washes. Only had two hours, so it was just for some time out of the house really. Low tide, but on the way in. A NE breeze was also blowing, which isn't the ideal direction for this spot. Some b*&%**%s, left all their crap on the rocks and in the pools. Plastic bags of prawns and beer bottles. Anyway, floated for about 20 mins before the first down, and boy, was it a down. The float was there one second and gone the next. The line was tearing through the water, and the Avon was spinning in the palm of my hand. I thought that I must have hooked a trevally, which I have done many times on weed, but it was a nice size nigger, which took about 5 mins to land. Beaudy, I thought. Things were slow however, and it was another 15 mins before I had another down. This was a duplicate of the first one, and I can't remember blackfish ever having hit so hard and stripping line with such determination. Another good one landed. Next down was tentative, and I lifted the rod, but found the cabbage cropped down to the bend of the hook. Again, a tentative take but I hooked this one, only to lose it at my feet. Another one like that a few minutes later, and then it slowed down. The tide was quite high now, and I could see fish 'surfing' up in the swell and grabbing a mouthful of cabbage weed on the way through. I had given myself 2 hours, and with a minute to go, I got a third one. Good, solid fish. Can't wait for them to come on a bit stronger. Great fun for a couple of hours in the outdoors. Total three landed, two lost at the ledge and a couple which only stayed on for a second or so before the hook pulled. I have a couple of pics on the mobile, but have no idea how to get them off, or upload them. Have to wait for the Parole Officer to get home, so he can show me.

Went out again today for an hour and a half. Missed the tides and the wind was freshening. Landed two 38cm niggers in the first 15 mins, then nothing. The blackfish are really fighting hard at this time. Don't know why. I got banged on the knuckles by a flying handle as one of the fish really took off. He was coming relatively easy and then I think he caught a glimpse of me in my Viva cap and took off at high speed. Got my lunch for tomorrow, anyway.

Its good to see some of our lessons we taught you are paying off and keeping you out of the fish & chip shop hysterical.gif

What lessons??? There are no mango trees down here to sneak in and steal the fruit off. My last tree has succumbed to the balmy Sydney weather and died. :(
