Ok I decided to take a mate from my old job and my new lucky charm out fishing on Wednesday as it was the only day this week that was any good due to the weather going to poo since I got back from work.
Ok now I started collecting Meerkats just recently and my missus hates them so out on an adventure I decided to take one as a lucky charm and Mickey the Meerkat was born.
Mickey helped me beef up some X raps as I had heard there were Spano's about and was keen to get into some.
Kaypee texted me early in the afternoon with the great news of a storm on it's way into us and as the radar looked it wasn t going to be lovely . So in it comes with wind lightning and thunder and rain but moved off quickly after a couple hours thank god.
So up at 12.15 pm and pulls the boat out of shed and load up and away just before 1 am to get to the harbour around 1.15am .
Drives into ramp and I see a bare bummed guy standing at his boat >>>>>> Booney the Homo . Sheeshus scared the hell out of us straight guys I can tell ya
Had a yarn and we both headed off into different directions with thoughts of catching up out wide if the reds were going to play the game .
Out into the bait grounds and nothing so out to a fern spot and dropped anchor and hussar after hussar after hussar were madly on the chew . So we moved for new spots back and forth and come up with 2 reds one 740mm and a 65 cm model was a start followed by couple lippers and more hussars. Only taking the models over 35 cm others for strips.
DAwn came with some large splashes in the distance up anchor and out went the XRaps and not long into it ZZZZZZZZZZZ and into him I went and up and gaffed was our first yellow fin . Out again not 100 metres and bang another one comes in and bleed and into the esky .
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Video^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We trolled for another 30 mins and no more so back into the fray we went. Anchored on a beautiful prickle patch and hussar and hussar come aboard . Mate gets dusted and rocked so I grabbed a semi live hussar and whacked him straight down soon as I took the weight off the bottom when it hit there was weight and we had our first trout on board then as I unhooked my mate winds in another then he baits with a trick my dad uses for trout the wings of a hussar and spread wasn t down 2 mins and a nice smaller trout comes onboard 3 straight after another. Next drop matty me mate hooks a nice schoolie and our esky was looking a quite mixed up bag .
We moved and re trolled but no good the current was screaming and we headed to meet up with Booney And Booney Snr . The boons had scored a 740mm red and a 910 mm Red Jew we drifted with the guys but we couldn t get any so we headed for home to puick my young fella up before he fiinished school
Had a good trip and have a video editing in process
