but will i catch any thing, will possum out fish me again, stuff this i am going fishing

Good luck POLY and Possum ,

not that Possum needs it .

is that the best u can do, i put it up there for u to have a go at and that do i get a bunch of hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no not for me to say

we arrived down the point at about 12 noon and did all the things that had to be done like set up
the fishing gear Arnie dog had seen us drive in to town and called round for a yarn, Arnie suggested we pick him up at about 2pm to go fishing, we tried a few spots with out much luck until we headed up the river to a new spot there were a few locals up there fishing and it was on the flathead came thick and fast until all hell broke loose possums little Wilson live fiber bent over and the reel screamed, with the reel emptying at a rapid rate it was a case of start the boat and the chase was on well for a couple of minutes anyway, we had hoped it would be a big jaw but no such luck it was one of the biggest rays i have seen so we broke him off. it was getting late and the tide was on the turn so we stayed for a while longer to take advantage of the change a couple more nice size flat ones in the 40cm range, well that was it for day one.

still trying to work this camera out.
day 2 Sunday a little over cast wind from the south at about 1 or 2nts and a making tide we tried for a jew but with no luck so after lunch it was back to catching flathead on the outrunning tide we got a lot in the 30cm size and smaller with just 3 over 40cm.

now i should point out at this time, that possum will tell me to leave the fishing to her shut my mouth and drive the boat

but this time the keepers were all mine
i will say this possum got a fish that i think that catch22 would love for his tank

Monday the wind is blowing at 5nts and gusting to 10 by 7am i will give it another hour and see if it gets any worse as i wish to go fish Jervis bay for squid the weather base not get any worse so of we go calling in at Calburra bait and Tackle for supplies where i was looked after by very component staff that i can not recommend enough.
By the time we got to the bay the wind had got up a bit may be to 15 in gusts and it got cold, will i or will i not cross the bay after all poly is a v nose punt and NOT an ocean going vessel so i told her to put on some life saving gear and of course she did in her own way as for my self i call the coast guard just in case

we got there and we got squid for tea
tuesday we wont talk about,just 1 fish in the take home size and thats it

did we enjoy owe selfs u bet we did

Good Trip Poly, Looks a bit overcast in that first pic, the chooks would have gone to roost. that flying Gurnard would look good in a tank. by the way they don't fly thats just what they are called.
Hope you had a nice trip and a feed of Squid.

yep we did Sumo, it was a grate trip and we loved it thanks to Arnie and Lou, the wewcome they extend is unsurpassed, and may god bless them for it as i do not feel worthy of it.

It's a bit early in the season to travel all the way down there & DONT THINK IT'S WORTH THE EFFORT TILL AROUND XMAS

Think thats when it starts hotting up fish wise .

What about parrot fish poly ?? Bob told me ewe caught a parrot fish



Doubt it think when Dave gets home this arvo his fish will be talking to a dead Dave
He got seasick this arvo in the bay & I piss'd mysrlf laughing

mind you it was a 1st as well he didn't feel like eating the bait this time

Good stuff Poly ,

Nice report mate , some good pics too cept the first one , does the camera have a ' night setting ' ?? Only just found that setting on mine after a few years .

And the boats looking good dude .



I can't totally agree with that JG , i think a few things contribute to whether it'll be good or not . Mainly the weather & that ain't been too flash down there lately , mind you i'm only talking Estuary's & little lakes here , NOT OUTSIDE OR J.B. as that's the expriance i have .But to say Nov is not worth it is a mistake well if ya want Flatties anyway .

Mine & me old mans B/Day's are in Nov and yeah early in Nov *can* be patchy but normaly pretty good but around the middle of Nov & towards the end particularly 22nd as that's dads b/day can be exeptional , i remember bagging out twice in one day a few times at that time of year , but yeah some years would fail but very rarely this late in the month .Beside ya get to beat the Holiday mobs .JMO

sorry to go off track Poly , but again good report mate .

thats ok mate, i think JG is thinking of his days chasing marlin of the stones and thinks thats the only game fishin down there, try a 5kg pig on nigger gear if that is not game fishin i do not know what is.
J G A BLACK MARLIN out of your little goat singled handed off the tubes now thats game fishing will u show us how us how its dune.

Nothing of the kind poly Iwas down there a couple of weeks back & the fishing was very poor compared to what it gets like around xmas just have a look @ your catch & you'll see I'm correct.

I have been fishing out of Greenwell Pt well over 20 years now & I mean in the estuary itself.



Well wot ewe do is get one of those Plastic thingamajiggy toy boats launch @ Callala Bay mototor around to Pt Perpendicular then put the throatle down as far as it will go.

Once the boat has safely beached itself on the rocks jumpus out grab a live bait stick put a wittle yellowtailer on the hook & drop in in the water talking to the wittle fishy Swim wittle Fishy & get eaten by Mr Marlins B4 Dave eats ewe

Then just sit on the rock & do waiting waiting & more waiting waiting

Here ya go POLY ,

This was my first eva fish on a Squidgie . First cast too i might add . :o

A 51cm Flathead , sorry bout pic quality , but hey it's dark round'ere
