Live bait yeah get it, but buying pilchards and squid (and burley) soon adds to the days cost.

(I am trying to justify another freezer.....)

The bigger one is bait burly and ice the smaller one is human food. Used to be the other way around but priorities and stuff.

Yeah hard bro, we sometimes go for bait only missions mainly for skippies though. Love coming home with 50+ knowing they are over $10 each from the shop
We also keep all our Kahawai, Mackerel and Trevally for the bait freezer (some trevs make it into sashimi)

Cant like that.

The boy has been asking to go fishing off the "wharf" (fishing platform by fiveshire rock) buggered if I know why all he has ever caught there is an octopus but we will go have a go when he gets home from school.

Lets see how long that lure lasts.

Looks like he has good technique.

Eight mutton chops
Released a lot of smaller grunters and more than a few little sharks,no chinamen and no spikey bastards.13.5° gentle northerly.
Fished through the low.

One spotty. The boy got tired of the lure and went to bait. I lost a lure but also caught someone else's snagged rigand gained a clip on sinker.
@stingray turned up for a yarn and some other keen as kids. One got snagged and broken off a few times,naturally the fish had a mask snorkle and suit in his wagon and he offered it to the kid who swam out to unsnag his line.
He got it off and scored my lure I had lost 20min before!
Good keen kids.

Secret if fishing there is use f big baits. Too many use such small baits around there and get nothing. Use big baits and you hook something that pull string. Might be a ray, but have caught conger eels, three different types of rays there, snapper, big kahawai , been spooled on 10kg twice where run hasnt look like stopping.

I had the biggest squid head and tentacles you ever seen as a bait......it was constantlly getting bites I ingnored hoping something bigger would come and snaffle it...15m later entire bait gone, cast out about half a big salted mackerel fillet and gone in 5 min.

Might as well keep all you catch as they could be the last you ever get with that mad bitch in control of "conservation"
