Baitless trip
Submitted by ctan1968 on Sun, 2013-10-13 16:46
I finally got motivated to try a catch/release trip with no bait, just armed with a light jigging outfit and another rod for a release weight. Late solo start didn' t see me to the spot until midday. Some lumps were loaded and I practiced all the different styles I have read so much about.
Only had an 80g Fanky, a pirate with rusty hooks and some McCarthy softies. (yes I was pretty half arsed as bait fishing has always been my choice) Tried the plastics and Fanky in a couple of spots but only the fanky fired. Maybe I didnt spend enough time with the SP as the wind was kicking up from the south.
All dhuies caught were released.
Great time had in the 2.5 hrs of fishing, and as they say, no dirty bait stains in the boat and no fish cleaning.

Nice mate, I just did one up here in NQ, it was strange leaving the bait at home and we didn't go that well, bait came out next trip lol. Will try it again though sometime.

Fishing solo, so it was pretty hard juggling fish and doing a selfie. Took one shot with the phone but don't know how to upload onto this page.
