alexit Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi all... I spent a very nice weekend on the water, Not a lot of fish in the boat but with the great weather, who cares, and thinking back I feel a lot of things I have read fish/water/weather/tides etc just sort of ticked into the right place in my head. I guess I am saying I didn't catch lots of fish but I feeeel I am a better fisherman . Sat I hit middle harbour on the lonesome with a late 8ish start as I could not get out of bed Spent a lot of time just cruising round flicking at structure, sounding round and watching others and wondering when/what and why they were there? That sort of thing. As I said, not many fish,but I was slamed by this fellow under a boat... He went my pb on lure at 33cm and fat as....most of my bream go back but this fellow went home for baked bream on Sat night. Sunday I had given the day to Rach...."What do you want to do today Darl?"...."I wanna go fishin" she tells me! not a problem. We launch late morning and head up Lane Cove just as the tide was peaking. I tell Rach we sould do something different for a change a find the deep holes a jiggle a jig in em. Now she has a pretty good touch with the plastic so when she asks what she sound do I tell her " Do what you normally do, just make sure you are down on the bottom" Three casts or so later I am told "gettin some small bumps...oh got him!" And like a true pro she bring a nice high 50's flattie up from the depths. And flathead dinner for Sunday night. I picked up a smaller flattie later and think I missed a few fish down deep buy not striking when I felt a small????? I was stopping the retreive when I now think I should have struck? Any ideas? alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jocool Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Any ideas?alex 41867[/snapback] Yeah....Lucky bastard! Next time try striking. Maybe they are just mouthing the bait and then spitting it out. Good going on your PB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
