Had an early start this morning, leaving home at 6am. Got to the beach half an hour later, and started the hike to the rock platform. The ocean was calm and the water very clear, with a slight westerlie breeze blowing. A big school of kingfish busted up 30m out, jumping out of the water and thrashing the whitebait. Not long after, salmon and tailer joined in. This continued all day, and one half cab drove over and got stuck into them. Of course, they motored through the school several times and the action stopped for them. The moved on and within half an hour the fish were back. Anyway, that was not what I was fishing for. I made the early start, as this spot fishes well on the runout, and I only had a couple of hours of that this morning. First cast, the float zotted down and I missed the strike. No bait. This happened a number of times, so I changed the depth from 10ft to only a metre. Started catching fish right away. Got busted off by big pigs a few times. A little while later a mate came down and the three of us fished until midday. I got a good fish on, which I called for a pig, and it took me for a good number of runs until one last lunge left me with braid floating in the wind. The trace busted a few cms below the braid. Rotten fish took my best float. I ended up with nine nice fish, some of which will go to friends and family.
Can't believe what a glorious day it was on the rocks. Got back to the beach and it was blowing whitecaps and washing weed up the sand. Totally different to the scene a few klms south. Pelagics busting up all day, warm clear water, a huge blue groper eyeballing us from 2m away, good fishing and a couple of mates to share it with. Wouldn't be dead for quids.

Gather you've got a Sanyo or is it LG ???????????

seems to be getting better each time you go out, well done mate

Paul

You did better than we did KK, the bay was like a desert and conditions were very ordinary.

Good fish and beautiful shots mate, love the one looking across Bate Bay.. what camera are you using ?

A photographic wun

Just the camera on the mobile phone.

Must be a nice phone, you're game taking it out on the rocks mate !

Nice shots and I agree with dan it must be a good camera in that phone as the shots look great.
2 megapixle is about all it takes for good looking shots on a computer screen, but those shots look great.
Might have a look in t6he shed and see what sort of gear I have that I could use these days from similar locations. I know I said it defore, but at least rock fishing is still getting close to the water
and my boats don't get there so maybe my legs might.

Good Catchin ,and good eatin !!!

at the go-to spot it looks like .

Good fisherman know how to read

the water,structure,etc. and know how to

adjust to the given conds. in order to

produce good catchin !!!

kk must be good then cause he's blind in one eye

Went out for a fish on Tuesday. Seas were up so fished inside the Port for three piddly blackfish. Went out again today and it was still too dangerous to fish my favoured spot. Got two inside and dropped one as I was bending over to pic it up. A bloke cast a squid jig in beside me and hooked a monster ooglie. Big green eyes and huge teeth. I stepped back as it slurped its way towards me. May have to take a 7 foot rod and some jigs with me next time. If I hook one, I can shoot it with my .38 before dragging it onto the rocks.

Life Is Good


Yep got to put my feet up today for a change

HaHa. You're not even watching where you are driving. Seen you do that in your car as well. Ketch anything?

Yep

40 winks all the way home
quickest run i've had running home from out wide one minute I was awake next asleep then we were home

Looks like a pretty good way to spend an afternoon, sometimes it's nice to be taken for a ride.
