fished for 2 hours, plenty of undersize
and came home empty handed.
annoying listening to 4 people winge
about the cold, 2 hours of that was enough for me.
even slipped getting outta the boat back at the ramp,
me getting a wet arse seemed to cheer 'em up.
Yeah ,,, I just got in from fishing that area as well ... I was the Haines sitting about 20m South from where you were starting your drifts from....
I thought you had a TV on board with that massive colour sounder beaming out ,,, was it showing any action downstairs ? , cause I know there wasnt much in our boat either,,,
We tried other rubble pits north of there as well with still no luck/....
Thats fishing the bay though these days...

lol adam, i don't normally drift over there.
my young blokes need some training,
they had the anchor chain tangled around the pick,
did that twice before figuring it out.
oh well, maybe next time.
nothing on the sounder either.
the young blokes girlfriend (first fishing trip) was quite happy
to sit and watch the sounder most of the time, i'd normally
turn the bloddy thing off and save juice.
whenever those bloody jelly fish are about i luck out.
see you round,
aido.
Hi Guys i was at Harry's yesterday arvo until 8pm last night.....Took a mate out to give him a shot at drifting soft plastics for the first time.
Midday was calm and we did severel drifts in amoungst the boats and scored 3 sqiure just under legal size on the plastics.
He has now been converted to believe they do catch fish.
We tried bait as the sun set but nothing so we headed over to the spit beacon at Peel as i was talking to another mate and he told me himself and Mr plastics nailed a 4 kilo snapper that afternoon.
All we got was a fresh 15 knots of north westerly all night!!!!!!!!!
Back to the Manly-Lota ramp by 7-30am after ploughing into a choppy sea all the way home.
Went and drove my trailer down the ramp to hitch up with the boat and as i drove up the ramp i noticed one wheel was making a scrapping noise......A CLOSER INPECTION REVEALED SOME SCUM BAGS HAD LOOSENED ALL THE WHEEL NUTS!!!!!!!!
JUST LUCKY THAT WHEEL DIDN'T FALL OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't know if someone was playing a bad joke or were they trying to steal the wheel and where scared off by another person.
Looks like i will have to now go and buy a pair of locking nuts to prevent this reoccurring. >>
Cheers Brent
Sunrise at Peel this morning
Well Guys,
I decided to have a 'weekend at home', as the last couple of trips haven't exactly fed the family. Saturday looked the goods, weather wise, but worked on the computer instead of wetting the line. Woke up this moring to fair s/w n/w and with a quick look out the back window, the bay didn't look too inviting.
Finished editing inlaws wedding vid and while it was rendering went down to get a paper with a quick trip past the ramp. I couldn't believe how many boats where being launched, maybe they knew something I didn't. ??? Thought I'd have a looksee tonight for reports, but so far apart from Kev's Cod (bloody nice fish) all seems as it has been for the last few weeks....
But I'm not giving up on my bay snapper. (just not this weekend)
Cheers,
Tony 8)
