fred 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 For me xmas is pretty busy because of work and family stuff to do.My Mrs is going away for 3 weeks and i want to do heaps of fishing. I'm gonna try put a heap of fillets and squid in the freezer.I also have the charter in Jan so i hopefully will have a good Snapper to cook up.Sometimes it's the cooking and eating of the fish that does it for me.There's something special about eating fresh seafood you just caught, Washing it down with a few beverages with your mates, and a swim in the pool on a hot day.Summer, Summer, Summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ospray 1 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well mate, at least you got the chance to get out for a while, thats what life is all about not everything goes according to plan[/color:3obhi0n5] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spinyeel 2 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well folks,I'm back from my pilgrimage to Fowlers Bay.The weather was great for 4 days before the Southerly buster hit us.We managed a couple of nice Tuna only a kilometre from the jetty on the first day.Heaps of mutant Tommies,Gar and Snook off the jetty at night time and early morning and had a mind blowing session on Bronzies off a rock ledge on Point Fowler.We caught and released 3, up to 2 and a half metres long and lost 8 in an unforgettable 2 hours.The gear we were using was a bit light on,30lb mono.My 12 year old son landed the only legal Mully,his first and I got another 6 foot Bronzie at the Camel Track beach the day before the storms set in.All in all a great trip,just a shame about the weather.Cheers Phil. http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/v1NSpuY6__Bronzie_on.jpg[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/GWp6NBhy__Shark_Bronzie.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spinyeel 2 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Here are the tuna caught on the 1st day. Tough little scrappers on light gear. Trolled up on pink tuna skirts http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/FHbiyTIo__Paul_and_Phil_Tuna_2.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brooksey_134 1 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 which rigs and baits were used for the bronzies off the rockks?nice shark there too!cheersharley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spinyeel 2 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 We used 30 lb mono with a 2 metre double,attatched to 2 metres of 60kg wire,and a 12/0 Gamakatsu hook.Big Salmon fillets were used as bait.We fished on the bottom using a 4oz running sinker.My mate Tim used a TLD20 on a custom built Sabre LBG stick and I used a cheap CL70 Chinese Ming Yang overhead on an old Ironglass light game rod.The Ming Yang performed well,great drag until a massive Eagle Ray shredded the level wind late in the session.I've removed the level wind and put grommets in the holes.Hoping to completely destroy the reel in the near future. :twisted: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
