Fishing the North Mole 11/2/10

Hi There,

Went fishing yesterday with Chan,and his Mrs, we started at the South Mole but it was blowing a gale so we sought refuge among the rocks of the North Mole.

We got there at about 6pm and started fishing for light stuff whilst Chan was rigging up his rods for the bigger stuff. We caught a few whiting and then Chan put one out as a live bait. All went quiet for a bit and then it was on again!

 

Chan had a couple of big bites and runs on the heavier gear, and at 9:30pm we had probably 10 whiting, 4 herring, 1 skippy. I then had to leave, as I got halfway home i got a txt to say that he had caught a 43cm Tailor. I hear that from then until 3.30am the whiting did not stop biting and the tailor were on the bite as well.

 Was a great night out fishing.

yea, first one had one chunk

yea, first one had one chunk taken out of the livie. Very wide shaped chunk, not small either. Second one, the bait was fully mashed and most was missing, got some of the tail half back. Last one, the run went for a while, as soon as i picked up my rod, it spat it. Reeled in and bait looks nearly untouched, like no teeth marks or anything. Leader was a lil grazed by teeth most likely so i think it has to be something big enough to mouth the whole thing then picky enough to dump it when it felt resistance, no idea what any of the runs could be. Highly doubted was rays coz i fish enough rays and no way they'd get away unhooked. My rigs used were, 2 sliding snell 7/0 gama circles on live bait slide rig and impact (grapnel) sinker. *shrugs* fck knows but im still tryin to get the new rod loaded, still unsuccessful so far. I dont wanna break it in on a ray lol.
