And another -Sat 24th looks OK

[Scalem]

Tim D texts me early Tues to point out weather might be OK this sat - I wasn't even looking at the weather yet. Still not blooded the new rig enough Tim?

Might be a good chance to slip out via south passage to square patch area. Another Kingie assault? Northerly winds are my only observation, hopefully I can get there early, so if it blows up a bit more it will be following sea home.

I'll try the northern channel this time, have been going out through middle channel but I have to understand why most people use the northern channel ( which I am less familiar with) when middle channel has been easy.

Anyone else?

Hi Rosco,

1st light leaving Manly ( that's where you are moored isn't it?) will be around 5.15am. Can meet you at the rock wall entrance around then?

I think we will be heading out around those parts as well. Probably try a little closer in then have a look at Square Patch if the northerly does not kick in too early

[rosco1974]

Stopping for Livies? Nah, we'll use our Zmans again with 3oz jigheads. If you buy the biggest Zmans I'll give you some jigheads to try ( not that I'm trying to convert you or anything.) You too Neil, if I meet up.

i have a few of barry's hotlip jigheads in 1,2 and 3 ounce but not just a plain jighead..

[rosco1974]

hey brian where did u get the zmans and what color works best in what style

Here you go, Tim used a 4oz which is a little oversized where 3 oz was OK, and there is one colour brighter called sexy lady. BCF have them. Rosco, Barry's crystal flash works great, but I prefer to whack a big paddle tail on my jigheads which are designed for plastics, Barrys are designed for bling where the collar is too thick for plastics.

If I don't get a chance to talk to you, drop the 3 or 4 oz with Zman down when you see fish on the sounder, and crank it back exactly the same way as you would rip a knife jig up. The glow powder coat will attract them to it, along with the vibration of the paddle tail.

Hopefully i don't have to work Brian :(


cheers tim :)

Rosco, VMR ramp if I can get a deckie, pontoon if going solo, so I'll meet you at the front rock wall at 5.15am.

Tim D - can't help that bud, might have to go to plan S as everyone else inc Matt are busy, so might have a spot if anyone is keen for a fish and likes fishing plastics. I'll go solo if I have to. No stinky stuff on the Yalta ( normally) PM me if interested.
