Well here is the fishing report
FED was talking about – no way I could have put it here last night.
WE DID CATCH FISH!Late start to the day as we have FED’s eldest staying for a few nights.
Got out into the bay and first thought was “ Geez! Oily and slick – where’s the seasick pills?”
(T’was already seedy from night before!)
Then as we approach Moullinex the swell started in. Bombora off Bare Is. working a treat!
Next thing we see is this little ‘tinny’ boring down on us – looked as though he was going to ram!
Low and behold it’s the Jumpus and midget Majed.
Snuck into the lee of Yarra Bay to get organised and have a cup of coffee!
Nothing there except FED caught what appeared to be a small sea snake/eel all curled up on the end of his line. Down one hook so far for the day. We were
NOT going to try and get that horrid looking little sucker off.
Decided then to go and have a try off Watt’s Reef close into the oil wharf.
We ended up with 2 decent sized Trevally (biggest 46cms) and a flathead. When FED tried to get the hook out of the flattie’s mouth the little blighter bit him!
Click to view attachment Choppy later in the morning (from NE) and the swell eased only slightly. We used bait as opposed to SP’s.
Decide to drive over to say goodbye to the “Two Men in a Tinny” before heading home.
I have never seen anyone hang onto a fish like Majed did to that Kingy when he so proudly held it up for us to see.
Good work there boys!
(Must have been Majed’s
red undies)
