Wello pt 19.4.07

[Stacer_440]

WOW.... Whart a night. I havnt had such a good fish like this in the bay for years. I was in a 4.15 tinnie with just a sounder {mates boat Dave Dobson} had more gear in the boat than you could poke a stick at. Last night went off. We were throwing snapper under 40 cm back. It was full on when i caught a 57cm snapper, it just peeled line and went left, cleaned up all the other fishing lines around the boat. I ended up hand reeling him in the last couple of meters in becaue all the lines had knotted up at the end of the rod tip. IT WAS STRESSFUL. Eyes lit up when i saw him..OH YEAH BABY. TOTAL 10 snapper 3 taylor.

Not really, just jealous cause I cant get out during the week.

Seriously good catch there stacer. Was it a good night, no wind?

Gee wait till T1 and company see this report.......man they gonna be out there quickly......

I presume you used stinky bait stuff and not placcies?

Onya mate, Wello never ceases to amaze.

A midweek bagout on squire. What a way to go. Well done and with a 57cm one in the esky I'd be about as happy as you as well.

Nice stuff matey the fishing at Wello is only going to get better every week from now on. What bait did you get them on?

[T1]

Great work STACER! Each week is a week closer to prime time Wello nights from here... Another 5 degrees down and we're away!

Top stuff and bet you had a ball!

[Adamy]

Nice haul there!! To answer some others questions...I'm going to take a stab and say you were using bait - never seen anyone use placcies with an alvey before

Any particular depth of water?

Cheers,

Adam

ADAMY, my guess would be that they were in the shallower water. Remember when we sit out there, we sit the deeper water for the 'bigger' stuff as everytime we came in off the ledge, we would get the 'smaller' fish. We don't get those numbers in the deeper water but the quality is better. I could be wrong but i'm sure STACER will confirm.

BILGE, night time is bait time at Wello...

Take Care T

PS ADAMY: remember the night we got the 64cm model on the SP's after a very slow slow slow night on baits last year (mainly due to wind direction)?

Nice catch of fish. No wonder there are no fish around if people keep so many...its a shame you didn't throw 90% of them back to fight another day!

[Tinn]

Beeg Kahuna you have to be able to catch them to throw them back. Stacer_440 is within the limits of the law

[Stacer_440]

Yes i was useing pillies not plastics. The night was very black. Using old faithful 12ft old flexi rod with mr alvey. Im a big believer in only take what you need and stck with the new fishing guide lines. This also means keeping your plastic bags in the boat. I was blown away last night and i hope there will be more times like these. tight lines everyone

Another Snapper Hugger!!

Guys, guys, guys! There are laws and regulations for a reason! STACER has not broken any and neither has anyone else that sticks within the laws of the state! So anyone that wants to bag law abiding citizens should move to another country or start their own where they can rule the way they want to! Until then, to the 'baggers'....

And like TINN said, you have to be capable of catching them first! It's the old 80/20 rule i guess... Work smarter and be part of the 20 rather than the 80!

Great catch stacer! I've had the same line tangle probs on a smaller fish though, my brother and his mate kindly cut their lines for me!
