Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Out of Delaware on the incoming tide this morning so gentlemans hours.....had a little troll for a kahawai while Making our way out but no takers.
Dropped a longline in @madjon_ s spot then headed out round peppin instead of my usual area due to the forecast.
Started out with a his and a roar with some just under blues and some kahawai then it just went dead.
I went cod fishing it was that bad and even they weren't on the chew but I fluked some keepers.
Hadnt caught a shark yet so headed out deep for a look....bit of a drift fish...3spikys and one spotty it was time to pick up the longline and come in on the high.
3 nice big gurnard one rig and one spiky rounded out the day.
Fishing wasn't that great but got a couple of feeds and just good to get out on the water again for a couple of hours.

So did we, first drag produced a beast! So we hunted deeper towards the Boulder bank . More horse mussels tearing up the net, so after a frustrating couple of drags with the old chap from next door being buried in his gum boots .

We bailed headed up the channel with windows in the drag ….lwhat wasn’t a hole was weed, my pride severely dented I was ready to pack it in, the import and my lad called for one more drag…up the channel all going well then it got heavy but not angry ..pulled to shore and there lay old stinker the ray.. im now convinced this ray loves us catching and realeasing s/him ..

So after once again flopping old stinker out of the net and shaking out more weed than grows in a freshly laid lawn we stumbled across another delicious flounder.

The crew called for another go, well the net lacked physical catching ability, and the old chap from next door was down to a smile and a slow plod.
I pulled the pin, we packed up , a warm spring sun on our back..and wandered back to the truck.

Brought some replacement mesh a long with some cordage, putting the net away ..hockey semis and hopefully finals…next couple of weekends ..then bugger it I might go swimming ….a lot .

Lessons learnt , days are stretching out, a new game plan is underway!
