Had some good results with some live bait on the weekend and throughout my break. Run down below
Saturday 2pm-6pm Ross Creek - Live baited in a mates tinny for a catch of a +60cm queenfish caught on a live herring under the victoria bridge in the city, suprise catch in only 4 foot of water. Went nice in a green curry. Was an exceptional day on the punt too, backin winners all over the place too.
Monday morning at the mouth of the marina, live herring again and fought a monster battle for about 20mins on the rocks. Thought initially i had hooked my first barra, but 5 mins into the fight I thought otherwise. Massive sting ray finally surfaced and line quickly cut. Ugly stick was very impressive and i really put it to the test.
Tuesday morning - aplins weir. Live herring again and missed all solid strikes while i had the cast net in the hand. thought they would have been jacks too.
Overall summary - both hook ups were using my abu/ugly stick outfit, fished in free spool with the ratchet on. hooked up both times on gamatshu hooks 1/0's in the red. very impressed with that tackle and the results. no barra, but i saw some results and the drive is still there.
