I picked Nugg up at the ramp this morning at 4.45am after he just did an all-nighter. The boy is either mad or very keen!
I wanted to get him a GT and for him to hear his reel scream and clean out the cobwebs.
Again, surface activity was non- existent telling me that the fish were down deep as I knew they were there.
We pulled up at my first spot and started casting our SP's. After a little while Nugg gets a solid hit and nails a Bigeye about 40cm. He was happy and I was happy to get him a decent fish.
A few more minutes went by when Nugg gets another good hit and line starts to peel from his reel.
This was a better fish and after a good fight on his bream gear, I slip the net under a Bigeye that goes 52cm. Nice fish!
We start casting again, my turn, as my plastic gets nailed by another good fish.
This thing was head shaking and I could feel his tail beating on the line. Nugg was ready with the net and in comes a nice Tailor that went 60cm.
Slice of the throat and in the kill tank! Tucker!
About 5 minutes later we see a 4' Bull Shark hanging around and looking very agitated. Things slowed, so we moved.
We tried for a Whiting on popper, with Nugg having 3 good strikes but not hooking up. At least he saw how it was done. I managed a whiting of 30cm before we decided the current was too strong to fish this method properly.
Off we go to my GT spot. The water was now looking a bit better with a few back eddies and current lines forming. We tried for about half an hour with only 1 strike for 1 GT that went 49cm. Another good solid fish.
As we were heading in the direction of Nugg's bus stop, he decided to have a go at a few Bream under the jetties. I must admit, I don't like bream, I find them boring and hard to catch. Nugg's first cast was perfectly placed with his hidden weight jig wafting down. Smack, he was on! A just legal bream, on his first cast.
Nugg got quite a few bream as I watched his technique, and I can tell you, he knows how to catch bream that's for sure.
No GT Nugg, but that's fishin'! 5 Species for a mornings fishing is pretty good I reckon.
I had a good day and learnt a bit off Nugg and I hope he had a good day and learnt a bit off me.
Cheers, Jeff.
