Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Bit of a belated report, VC again took pity on me and tried once again to show me how to catch snapper! I am truely perfecting the art of catching sharks and showed this by boating a spottie dog on the first drop, then escalated things by hooking into a barstard red cod! The wind was doing wind stuff and made it hard for us to sit right to make the most use of the burley.

VC's young bloke and I shared a packet of ginger nuts and a couple of brews of tea, he caught gurnard I helped by getting tangled in everyone's lines. The wind eased and we set a new burley a drift. VC boated a fat brim and low and behold I snagged one to, the tide ran out and the shit fish came on the bite, we pulled the anchor and recovered to hook line. We were rewarded with some more fat snapper.

We all would have preferred them on the rod, but a feed of fresh fish to share is a feed of fresh fish! We had a lazy cruise home, got to the ramp and after yarning to others who had traveled far and wide we had most certainly done very well. With yarns of red cod, spikies and very little else. As I said before VC hunts fish and it is a great pleasure to be in his company along with his lad who is another of young one of life's gentlemen. Polite and full of the joys of life!





The kingi's are about now according to those that fished up the coast.
