Quick morning fish

Went down mainly to try dads new rod, he was at work so couldn't say no :D caught 2 baby kahawai but one got off as I was lifting him onto the jetty also got one herring. It is a nice rod but fishing wasn't that great to what it normally is.

Rapala, my favorite one.

Herring that messed up the line, the hook looks like its set but oddly enough no hooks were in it.

Attachment 11860
The docks, what me and the mates named that spot.

Will have to go to the bar later on when the kahawai are running and test out that rod but its pretty mean, can throw a 30g jig @100m easy

looks like good eaters Toby

Nah I let the herring go thinking it was alive as it was kicking when he went back 2 min later look down he was lying on the bottom but a eel got him pretty quick, the other kahawai I couldn't kill the knife was too bendy to iki so I left him on the table to just die, For bait. Turn around and he just jumped off and swam away. I bet if that little shit had hands he would have pulled to finger too!

Cut there throats Toby so they bleed out. Much better eating

Yeah, I thought they were the same thing?

How do I get your job Toby, what's the pay like? Good fishing!

Best job ever, pays shit though.

Well you can't have everything!

Little fish like that Toby just push a finger through the both sides of the gills and pull. Gills and all will come out clean. No knife required. Easy

Or a good sharp tap on the head with ya knife handle kills them pretty quick, Kahawai ,Gurnard, Trout ,Barracuda don't need to iki them .Same result

Take a priest with you next time, tap them on the head with him, I've got a brass one for trout, or an empty beer bottle

I drink em first I case I break one, always an empty in the boat, unless I do the cleaning

I also snuck away today for a fish and to mow the lawn at the Bach, after a busy Sunday nite chasing prowlers. Result's, 9 snappa ,1 john dory and Tilly my little Australian Terrier. So a trip to the vet, with no chance to mow the lawn and $150.00 bucks later,I now have a very subdued Tilly on my lap whilst Fish is being caught for tea.

I went today in another spot got nothing should have taken bait.

You diiiiiiiiirty Hua fancy tellin the young feller he needs to master bait that won't catch him any fish might get him in a predicament if he gets caught though :P

Fish dont like my lures. Might go back to the other spot tomorrow with bait this time and a few more rods. Give it a good go. No squid, squids shit.

I leave the master bait comment or I'll get in trouble but google "Ella from cowboys and aliens" :)

Brilliant Maca49

Toby of course squids shit. They eat therefor they shit. Otherwise they would burst

If you can get hold of some bonito and some bait elastic from the tackle shop you will be in business. Good evening Rushy I see you are in good form again tonight :P

I like baby salmon it works wonders or salted pipis that are old and like rubber they stick on the hook mean, trevally and baby kahawai are allright too. Tomorrw if I go will be using what evers in the bait freezer

I remember my grandads old bait jar was full of salted tua tua and when you took the lid off it would damn near knock you over with the smell but by golly it was damn good bait he always used to come home with fish and more tua tuas for the bait jar. here is a tip to make squid into really good effective bait chuck it in rock salt till it goes rubbery and store it in a small bucket with lid or container and cover it in ultrabite fish oil or any other tuna oil you can get to re-oil the bait and leave in in the oil as it won't go off and take it like that when you go fishing used to get lots of fish on that brew i even used to throw oil in my rock fishing burley mix I used to make too so it would not freeze solid and that stuff used to really turn the fish on.

We throw oil into our berely too. Save up all the fish frames until theres enough then into the mulcher haha. Works good as.

ya doing well Toby,I haven't caught a fish since May.Now with 4 days of heavy rain it won't be happening soon either.

Woke to rain so no fishing today. The weather can go take shit. Good news I got into Doc today and permits sussed.
