If possible I’ll handle all fish using a wet hands / towel, and smaller fish try reviving fully in a bucket of fresh water - this helps prevent seagulls snatching them as they recover.
Makes me cringe a bit seeing pictures of fish (that haven’t been dispatched for the table) on sharp barnacle...
Next short local session targeting schoolies… 1/2 ounce lead and the mighty pen rod are all that’s required here! That and pop ups with tiny baits (Flappy will be pleased) as the crabs ? will strip bait in seconds so need suspending off the bed.
Next session in progress! No idea how this will go, bright sunshine not good but on the other hand it’s a big tide. Either way it’s damn nice sitting here enjoying the scenery and peace ?
Signing off today’s session with a few more whiting:
Pic of a new rig I tried out, pulley dropper. No tangles and casted well so will carry on using it alongside my usual loop rigs.
Pretty happy with today’s session! Next few will be shorter sessions locally, will report back ?
Cheers...
Well you never know when fishing…
Just as I posted the above update I noticed my line had arced well down tide. Upon reeling in it started going back up tide ?
This absolute beauty was the result, it smashed one of the pin whiting and somehow my size 2 fine wire hooked and held despite a real...
Conditions less than ideal…. bright sunshine, clear water, crabs stripping my beautiful lugworms in 5 minutes. But I don’t care it’s lush to be out.
Oh and blank has been saved by my near, but not quite personal worst whiting.
Afternoon all,
Went and dug some blow lug this morning. Rigs tied, hooks sharpened, car packed. Let’s see what they catch me over the next few days ?
I’ll keep this thread up to date with progress!
Cheers,
Robert
