As promised from my last post, i managed to force myself out of bed after only 3hrs sleep. Sleepy and contemplating to go or not, i managed to leave the hse at 6am and drove up to avoca. Parking lot looks ok with surfer already out in the water but no sign of fishos with gears around. Happy thinking ive got the whole platform to myself, i walked around to the plateau...OMG...is this Saturday or Monday. It was packed.
Stumbling along and dodging rock pools, i made it to my usual spinning spot by 8.30. Boy, the Poseidon weren't too happy today and Zeus was crying for most of the morning.
I took my time setting up as no one was pulling in any feed. By 10am, a welcome screem was heard from the distance. Someone had a fish on! "A Rat" yelled his friend. Moments past, the sounds of slapping rocks. I looked over and the first bonnie of the morning was hauled in.
I was spinning so didnt have pillies but the guys using pillies was bringing in bonnies far in between.
I managed 2 rats to 60cm and a pulled hooked bonnie right at my feet ?.
All in all, this trip was a better trip than most. In additional to getting little burnt, i had multiple water fights with the Kraken. Needless to say, i lost! I was drenched head to toe.
Lost yet another 2 rapalas and 2 SP to the hungry sea...and still came home with no food on the table.
What can i say. This is fishing for ya.
