Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

I can’t/ but do like that, spent money on jigs …again …couldn’t even get a sinker to the bottom without snakes taking them off. Battled all weekend with the shit fish , poor vis , known holes being empty , holes in my wetsuit.

Crew slaying big blue cod , gurnard whilst I rigged gear , got chewed up and chewed off.

Managed a pannie snapper only to be shamed be by the crew and chucked it back, along with any gurnard I boated. Foot long Greyboys and their larger brothers chewed were caught but gave my rigs arseholes . Then the spikes turned up on my side of the boat whilst the ladies continued to land gurnard ..

Pulled the pin , shared a beer with VC and my family , cheated at cards , went to bed woke to a howling wind and cleaned up and wandered home.


part two
home checked the tides …perfect for a afternoon flounder ..txtd the gang ( they knew it was an off day) …can’t make it….got a few others involved..headed out to find the tide was takin the piss , what should have being a perfect channel was holding water worse than a blocked sink….

wait wait wait … bugger it into the drink ..fishing a wide channel with @Pengy bless him taking the deep shallow side.

Did a drag a few small flats ..but not much of a clean out …back in a couple more flats …here’s the honey hole ….it’s a bust one keeper …fuck by now @ROKTOY has made an appearance..

we fished the reach of doom full of snags and sandbanks ..Well we hunted this part very carefully..hit a couple of absolute beautiful fish…but then in my wisdom to bag the net we missed the first push of the flood tide and all the lurkers were well on their way onto the sand flats and the fish able channels flooded before we could get set up.

lessons learnt each tide is different , but great company and willing hands are worth more than any fish caught , finally make sure you fishing in the burley trail !
