Great stuff 👍

Great stuff 👍

I'm happy landing anything. And getting on the leader board. Until Neil goes fishing again ...... 😂😂

We had a similar day yesterday. The only legal fish was dropped beside the boat. That's fishing.

Took the kayak out up castle hill way. Got this 42cm fella. That was the fruit of my efforts for the day. 0800 till 1400. Flicked a lot of plastic. Might take some bait next time.

Bloody close one as usual. 

Found a significant school  of Threadfin  and baby bull shark tailing   in 1.5 m of water this morning , right where they’ve been for weeks, so didn’t have to go looking for them. 
Helped myself to a couple before the wind started  to puff up a bit ,  then took off for home.
Had a double hookup on the second one , but it got off before I could attend to it , which was a bit of a bummer.
2 was enough  , so  left them feeding , for next time.
Beautiful clean fish off the sand , full of banana prawns , bled out and iced down well , they should taste good! 

A start for team south for May.
Threadfin 1010mm and 910mm.
 
 

April result -
Total Team North               6                   points/10 contestants  = 0.6
Total Team South            76                    points/18 contestants = 4.2
 
 
Winner = Team SOUTH 

Better than a cast net full of stripy catfish.

The old Xmas tree ...... 😆

Nice day and haul, Neil. That southerly chopped things up a bit in the bay today.
@benno573 and I came upon a huge, thick school of herring at the Pin one day. We made the mistake of throwing the castnet. We got about 200 in one cast. 7 out of 8 of them were stuck in the net. It took us a good hour to get them all out. Never again. haha

It was another  solo trip chasing rainbows this morning .
Did a bit of exploring and found a little bit of gold at the end of one rainbow ,down Jumpinpin way.
I also stumbled across a fantastic live bait spot stacked full of herring and huge hardy heads , never seen so many in one small area., the water was literally black and boiling with them .(Those threadfin are now on my short list for May)
Unfortunately I Left my tags and good brag mat in the other boat , so the little jewie didn’t get any jewellery to wear home.
Unfortunately for the  Northside I had an old  measuring device stashed in my rod locker.
SOUTHSIDE 
Flathead 570mm
Mulloway 740 mm 
Big eye trevally 510mm

Couple more whiting for team south
390mm and another 350mm

Nice Plan B, Neil.

I was suppose to go mackerel /reefy yesterday morning ,but my mate who was taking me in his boat cancelled with a sore shoulder at the last moment  . Since I had that all important leave pass organised  ,I went and dug a few  worms and had a whiting fish last night . Could not find any decent ones , but scratched up a nice feed of whiting. Got a beautiful little  juvenile mulloway  and a little lizard as by catch , which were tagged and released .Managed to upgrade team south’s whiting slightly.
whiting 350 ,345,350mm
mulloway 405mm
flathead 385mm

That sounds like a very nice mornings effort rebel.

Good stuff Rebel, glad you're catching some at the moment. 🙂 

Getting kids out for a fish, getting yourself back out there, laughs, fish, and your favourite spot for brekky. Hard to beat.

School free day. End of their Holidays.
Arrived around sunrise. Top morning.
One of the easiest places to go rock fishing.
First up a nice drummer ( Released ) The boys caught 2 tailor.
I caught two nice snapper 45cm & 48cm.
The boys caught 2 flathead & another tailor. They were happy.
Enough for me for my return to the rocks.
I tried out my new rod. Storm Gomoku 13ft. Casts very well. I had a Penn SpinfisherV 6000 reel on it. Good combo.
Newport Arms for breakfast
Lots of laughs.
Cheers.

Appears to be 👍. Seems like there's a few tailor about there lately.

Good to see you back out there rebel 👍

Good to see you are back at it 👍

Had today booked for a rare fishing trip with my brother in Yewgary after seeing the forecast earlier in the week. We kept a close eye on the forecast sites particularly BOM MetEye which showed very fishable conditions. Woke early and checked the observations. Wind, swell and a few showers but with the forecast promising we decided to go. 
well we punched out 1/4 the way there and it was gross. BOM totally smoking the reefer! We changed plans and stayed in close drifting some broken ground, waiting for the weather to improve. 
things were slow for me but my brother managed a fish on each of the first 3 drifts. I picked up a small grassy on drift 4 and then we decided to inch out a bit deeper. Well it was windier and rougher as expected and I wasn’t feeling great. Been crook a couple of times at work on boats but this was next level! Still managed to fish and got smoked out here before picking up another 2 grassies. Next drift my bro changed lures and got an instant hookup on a freight train - straight into the reef! Bruised battered and busted up we called it a day. Limped home with our tails banged up to our ears and a few fish in the box. Got back on dry land and the sea sickness remained. Battled the nausea home and into bed with a bucket, woke up 4 hours later with a cracking headache, aches and pains and still feeling like praying to the porcelain pisser!

Felt like 40 miles Brian but a 40cm + pearly was definitely a surprise for the close reef we fished!
jeezus your video says it all

At least you got some fish for all the effort you put in Andrew.
