Ron Howes Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Arrived at Chiswick Wharf around 9.00 am an hour off high tide. First throw out I get a down and thought it was ferry wash dragging me under. Retrieved and found I was baited. The fish were on as I started landing fish without even burleying. After 3 hrs I had 7 in keeper and had dropped 4 where I could not lift them out of the kelp. These were big fish that would not come off the bottom and charged into kelp beds determined to escape. I had family plans for the afternoon and packed up at 12.00 pm with fish still biting. I was using some beautiful Botany weed collected from the upper parts of creeks running into the bay. One of my New Zealand friends asked me for a feed of blackfish so I bled and cleaned a couple to take home and the big females were full of yellow roe. I now feel guilty in not releasing these fish.
