Berleyguts Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Still a nice feed, Rick! ? Which direction was that current pushing? I’m thinking of heading out tomorrow - it’s been too long between trips and it looks like I’m almost finally over the virus that’s had me laid up for 8 weeks! At least I think the missus said I could go! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Well at least you got a feed and went out - I’ve been too busy with work - stuck ashore for months now !! Reckon if you catch an 8kg model on next trip your average will hold. Best of luck! Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Unlucky Rick! Broughton has been a struggle the last two weeks. I was up there last Monday and couldn’t find a fish either. The water temp then was 16.5 at best. Your keen getting out in that rubbish. It’s looking good for this week. Hopefully I can get out sometime soon and find them! Cheers scratchie!!!

Just trying to figure which is best... fish south of structure (like The Sisters) and flick plastics back towards it and work back to the boat, or fish north of it and float baits back towards the structure. As it is, I don’t think I can get to Broughton tomorrow anyway - gotta take the mother-in-law to a medical appointment in Maitland at 2:30. Maybe I can squeeze in a quick session at Boondelbah or Little Island. Need to get out soon - the freezer is running low... only 1 bag of Huon kingfish fillets left and a couple of bags of flathead fillets... need to restock! Thursday is a possibility for Broughton, though, and possibly less wind. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 A bucket of pannies is better than a bucket full of SFA Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
