Did another Hawkesbury trip today, i got to admit i really like it, it's a beautiful place, the only thing is there is so much god damn water, hard to find the fishy spots
Left at 4:30am with bugger all sleep, picked dads mate up and got down the ramp about 6:00am.
We only had around 10 Live Poddy Mullet, and about 10 Dead Poddy Mullet for bait, and some Tailor strips from the fish i got last week.
We headed straight up to Lion Island and drifted around for around 2 hours, there was no Flatties at all around, nothing would touch any bait until all of a sudden my rod with the poddy goes off, heavy weight i was thinking maybe it's a Jew, but nope, looks like a big Flattie now ! oh.... wait, it's a ray D:
About 20 minutes later i said to dad let's move to Flint & Steel, then out of no where Salmon schools started busting the surface..
Got a few cast in with my Squidgy Flick Bait, hit, hit, bump..
Finally hooked one up not long later, it was a 50cm Salmon and put a great fight up on a 2-4kg stick with 10lb line
We made a move and fished for a few hours near Flint & Steel for nothing
I said lets try near the heads just for about 30 minutes, sure enough i hooked and landed a Rat Kingie, only 50cm but still a great fight on a 2-4kg stick and 10lb line..
We fished alot of ground for little result but it's better then nothing
Tried around Danger Island, a few channels, but nothing else seemed to be around, oh well.
Fishing the Pirtek Fishing Challenge tomorrow, might try Hacking with some freshly pumped nippers, wish me luck
