Well peeps today didn't turn out the way I'd hoped , Concer was a bit of a fizzer none the less I'm now Saint Jumpus

Today was intended to be a Will Smith Day Lets Get Jiggy Wit It

A box load of new sample rods had arrived & the boys/myself wanted to test a few out on kungs various lengths ratings etc cause these rods come with sum of the weidest line class ratings.

Anyways plan was to head out to the 12 mile where kungs have been frequenting of late, enroute pitt stopped @ the peak had a sound saw nutting of interest, then caught epsy of the Taking Machine aka Action Charters approached him & the bastard took off heading back in.

Then ph went ling ling twas a mate downrigging in the bay wanting to know how I was going told him talking machine did the harold holt & I thought prob because sum wun was chuck chundering which is norm on charters.

Told Goodster we wee heading to the 12 mile he volunteed to get taking machine on the ph & find out wot happened flat seas saw us n the 12 mile b4 goodster got back to me, he tod me I was wasting my time kungs weren't there nor on the peak that's why a few of the boys had come in including wun of the pr's

Well I did find fush on the sounder but didn't look like kungs down way to deep but thought wot the heck drop jigs boys that was the 1st & only drop no or velly wittle wind saw us drifting @ 3.6 knots.

Headed into sth Maroubra o et sum squiddy's & o join Goodster in the bay, No squid & the Nor easer made it a bitch of a drift

Off into Malaba same deal there
, same @ cape banks as well

Goodster got 4 squiddy's @ Jibbon & said it was a bitch getting them but he was fushing solo there ws 4 of us on board, off to Jibbon wot a wase evlly tom Dick & Harry was there with spearfisho's in the water etc etc

Off to Shark Isle hoping to @ least get slimmy's, ended up with yakka's instead but I did nail a monster Sqiddy for this time of year to big to toll

Thought bugger this the day & tide had slippd away so off we went back to botany bay when I finally slowed down wun of the boys said to me

I've got sum bad news !

Your browning Rod went swimmys [he was using that outfit by the way]

I said $500 worth of out went swimming ???? Told ewe guys your fishing rods are no good & they jump out of boats & cant float now do ewes believe me

back in the baygot goodster on the dog & bone all his 4 sqiuiddys had gone off to Kungs all fush landed 85cm kept three just under 650 released puled up along side & borrowed a rod for the rod loser on my goat.

We pulled the yakka's for an hr or so to no avail tide was turning @ 4pm got on the bommy around 3 pm as i knew we'd get sume fush'ee's there, anchored up could see them on the sounder & it 1/2 hr for them to start chewing.

Bee's kept droping his bites I was Sp'n ten switched to bait got a few goood bites 3rd wun was a beaut thought I'd pulled hook turned out I was cut off

Re rigged I'll mention all we were using were 3kg outfits didn't intend baitfushing & they were only on board to catch squid.

Next feed I was in solid this time & the wittle browning 1050 was screaming like it had never done B4, I get line back on it woud scream off again, Then I got the line back on it woud scream off again, the reel was singing 4ever & it had to be a Kung fortunately every run it took was out over the sand & not over the reef.

By this time we had a large audience looking on from another goat watching this kung take me all around my goat, finally colour & called for the net, 1st fush landed & a standing ovation from the onlookers in the other goat.

Well @ least Jumpus had now caught himself a Live Brim bait I though to myself

Have to admit it was alot of fun n the 3kg out but that dosen't mean I was going to pose with it for a pick DUCK FLAKKA got that job

Rest of the arvo saw aot of undersize snapper, not a bad treva, tailer, Bees got a legal snapper hence my 2 Miracles have now been performed

Oh I ended up naiing a Brimski when I fed out the live kung out

saint Jumpis, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no try photo two that's getting close, VIVA is getting there, but not there yet

poly

Frustrating day Jumpy... But still a lot of fun and we got there in the end...

You forgot to mention the kids fishing with "Live Bread' over at Jibbon!!

And the boys Peking Duck was sublime...

Well Jumpus, sounds like a fun day out....pity about the rod though...

Come a long way in past 2 years, they'll never be a Shimano or Daiwa & not really interested in doing so
Wot they doing though is now putting good affordable tackle in the hands of those who once could not afford it.

The new LOX caps look great alot better than the old Viva caps, think I've finally gotten to them & shirts with the same logo will be available

Dont know how many of ewe's have worn those shirts gotten here last year [fushingozstyle wuns] ??

Woudn't go fushing without mine, comfy keeps the sun out pockets come in handy to drop jelly beans into etc etc




That it was Bees & to tell ewe the truth it was piss'n me off tis days like that which can turn ewe off fushing 4 those hu dont know wot we're on about Bees was refering to bait gathering of squid twas a bitch & very time consuming for zero results.

Goodster struggled & only got 4 all went off to kungs, didn't jerry @ te time when we pulled up aong side him to have taken a pic of te wun he kept twas a beauty for the bay cause it was thick unlike the wun I nailed which was lean.

2 of Goodsters oter mates hu are supposed 2b gun ho squid fish's also struggled getting teir bait & were left Kungyless, Goodster only downriggs for kungs fishes for nutting else when kungs are about in the Bay & very rarely ever misses out.

Bees I can allways rely on the bommy to prodce a feed if need be saved many a boring fushless days



That it was, that's why I allways make sure Paul bring lunch when he comes out on the boat food is exellent when going out to dinner with the boys I keep my mouth shut & let them do the ordering I've tried dishes that I never would have & now have a new range of Chi New favourites



That was my favourite spin rod for te past 12months or so really hadn't used it of late since these new LOX rods arrived got told to come pick up a new wun but I'm ot oing to bother.

There's sum thing like 20 spin utfits sitting in the racks @ home to choose from but I did ave sum fun stirring up Ran abou it

Be hitting the Bay during the week Majed I'll give ewe a call

Bad luck guys on the fishing front, but hey thats fishing.


We all say tht catching squid is time consuming however at the end of the day the squid can make all the difference.

Is that Mr miyagi ?????




bafoo.

Look forward to fishing with you Jumpus this week...

Did you put the boat in at 4sure Jumpy, wondering how it went there?

Na !

Cooks River not going to waste y time in that 8 knot zone

Did have a good laugh @ the ramp sum twit with a brand new 6 meter trailcraft ran the trailer off the ramp when rversing it into the waer

How on earth people can be so hopeless is beyond me esp when lanes on ramps are so wide

Fortnately for him he left the concrete close to the water & wih the help of onlookers managed to push boat into the drink

We knew sumting was amis from 200 eter away loking @ the angl of the boat

Had no idea on how to use his 4WD either cause he had to fetch logs to ramp under trailer tyres

Buy yourself some earplugs Majed, you can thank me later.

Now that is just mean.
