Johnny Rotten 0 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 if my bad luck streak were only 5 trips.......I'd be pretty happy with that :woohoo: wonder if any of the "M" fisherman will "own up" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really have to give you Kudos for your committment :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: . The other thing I love is even if you dont get any you still put posts up and thats fantastic :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: .Ive done a few troutless trips this year to spots that regularly produce!!! :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: . Dont worry OS, I lost my MOJO :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: for a while and got it back last week, but sadly that was on salmon trout (Ranger you hearing this - they can be usefull, thats if they count...of course they do).Anyway I think metro fish are almost becoming a rare commodity. You do have to put in the hours and really work out their movements and feeding patterns.Keep trying though OS, cos when you hit em theyre gonna be big. Thats the snapps that is. I think the key is going to be finding some on the sounder first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OLD SALTY 0 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 i know what ur saying ranger and to be honest im gonna start down the bottom and work up. got a week off this week so im gonna get a fix on some ST's.......i hope!!! summer just gone was the first with the bigger boat and i must admit i thought i did ok for metro and having never fished from boats in winter i wasn't sure what to expect. but i thought id be better than this!!

Missed out plenty of times on the bream but i'm only a beginner,i hope to improve but its a long and winding road. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moggy23 625 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Went out from St Kilda on Saturday and tried 10 different spots and covered 102 ks ranging from the Norma, 6 ks passed Fairway Beacon to the Gawler Grns and got 2 Flatheads.We tried out an underwater camera on all spots and all I saw was a couple of cow fish, gardies, blowfish and a squid.Put down burley at Norma and watch the cow fish swiming back and forward, plenty of razor fish there.Still, we enjoyed the day as it was calm and the fish still got their bellies full of blood wormsFound this guy at the end of the St Kilda breakwaterCK in Dog Dish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SnappaHunta Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'm having a shocker of a winter myself.I just don't seem to have the winter fishing quite right.Still:)My dad went down to Marion Bay recently, he and his mate got bag each of 50cm + KIng George!!But of course that's while I'm at work. Big Boat + retired = fish :)apart from the threat of full sized salmon hitting a local breakwater, there's bugga all outthis time of year. I got onto a few schools of KGs locally, but nothing to write home about. In this issue of Wildcoast they reckon the Goannas and North are producing KGs.I hear your point on what worked 4 months ago, because I'm just thankful for the STs to save many a winters day.You'll feel like a fishing king again come summer, Mmmm big angry bream, yellow fin whiting, schoolies, sharks breaking the surface, snook and good old red knobbies when the crabs return :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barnett 0 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 last 2 snapp trips 2 just legal.2 trips before landed over 50 legals.we need a big blow that will get things going.at least i have plenty of STsfor bait when there on the bite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
