Due to the wind direction, we went out to the rockwall at the mouth of the river yesterday. We didn't get too much, but we got two pretty good fish:)

One was a 55cm Cod. It was a new pb for Jack, but I would've put $50 on it being a Stingray judging by the fight:blink: Didn't really do much, but we're not complaining:lol:

Second decent fish was one of those Morwong. Can't remember the exact name:S Dad got it:) It was 43cm

I dropped a Bream that looked about 34cm as I was lifting it into the boat. Was on a lure as well:( Would've been a new pb:(

And that was it. Pics to follow:)

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. We saw heaps of pelagic action:woohoo:

There were Mackerel smashing Gar around our boat, but we couldn't hook up. One was just cruising around with a big Gar in its mouth. Would've made 70cm

And there were some massive Longtails smashing bait in the distance, but they were flighty:(

Plastic Man: It's what makes us keep going back for more:cheer:

Bait was all that worked yesterday. The Cod was on some fresh fillet bait and the Morwong was on a Prawn. Funny thing was that Dad had been catching 15cm Snapper for the last couple of hours and then he hooked the big Morwong. He thought it was a snag, and then it took off.

Only a couple of small fish on lures, but the Bream would've been good if I'd landed it

it actually did the usual stingray run and stop a couple of times but instead of just a stingray doing the usaual and sucking onto the sand it was actually a cod running itself into the reef and i must of been pulling it out again. After calling it for a wobbygong on first sight we were amazed at the size of the cod as it came up from the bottom.

Lucky i was using a 40lb penn 10x leader (amazing stuff) or otherwise it would have been busted off.:)

Well done guys. Bad luck on the near PB. Sounds like a pretty good spot there. Oh and yeah that 40lb Penn leader is pretty tough. I used it to land my biggest Jack and did the same thing pulling him out of the rocks. Not exactly finesse fishing :P

Nice fish guys, well done

When you guys were telling me about those longtails this arvo i was like..

Great, that'd be my luck. A time when they're busting up and I could have got there in the yak, but instead I'm somewhere else...

Longtails was mentioned and I was thinking "I don't want to hear it" :ohmy: :(

haha, but I'll get one of those longtails... just make sure I dont see a longtail landed in that prowler before I get one :P :woohoo:

Again, nice fish :)
