after getting up and 3.30 and driving up the coast, we arrived at the mates fathers house at 5.00, to find that the Troy was all ready on the water, putting in some crab pots so we could take home take home a feed of crabs as well.
after netting ours selves a half bucket of gar and small mullet. the motor decided to play up so we headed back to ramp to try to fix it. while we waited my brother Lee and i pined on a small mullet each and cast out. we ended up with 3 bream just over 26cm.
after playing around with the moter we headed to our first spot. Lee and i were using mullet on a single hook and Troy was using gar on small ganged hooks. Lee and i both caught a flathead heaheach with Lee losing his legal one near the boat and mine was put back, after droping a tailor next to the boat, grabbed the bream rod an tied on new metal lure, and after a few casts i was hooked onto a 55cm flathead, when Troy went to unhook it he pointed out that i had failed to take off the plactic cover on one of the hooks.
moved to spot two, Lee hooked into a flatty that went 45cm, while Troy and i got into the bream.
after things quited down we moved another spot, while at this spot Troy pointed out that Lee and i had started out well, we had gone quite with the fish. i then realised that we were using different rigs to Troy, so a quick change of rigs an we were back into the fish.
after a couple more moves and a more bream in the boat it was time to get some more bait. this time we went to a different spot and the second time we dragged the net in we noticed that something bigger than a gar was in it. this fish turned out to be 39cm Luderick.
just after dark we called it a day, with the end result of around 15 bream to 32cm, 2 flathead to 55cm, 1 luderick and a mud crab. as Troy was staying for the next 3 days he gave us the whole catch.
needless to say Lee and i were very happy with the results for the day and will be hitting Troy up again to take us with him
Well done Brenno thats some good fishing in the passage, we have been trying the toorbul/donnybrook areas a bit recently without much luck at this point.
we spent most of the day on the water and all within sight of the toorbul boat ramp.
Troy parents own a house there and a caravan before that. he has been fishing there for nearly 30 years now so he knows all the spots. and heads up there every second week.
