Fishing Saturday and Today
Hey Everyone,
Me, my partner and my old man headed out Saturday morning and me, the other half and bro headed out today. Here are few photos of the catches... still alot of trout around.
Not anything overly big but still a feed
Both days produced a number of species the usual sambo or 2 and Pinkies. Hung around after bagging out on trout looking for something different, few small Dhuies, wrasse etc... but the trout where just being a pest.
Heres a little story
With the wind and swell, very very average this Saturday morning... heading 35 - 40kms out wasnt very comfortable. We knew the cranking NE'ly would eventually subside, when there wouldnt be much wind until it swung around to the SE/SW and settle in for the afternoon.
Then... What started off being a not so bad morning, Chilin, talking and catching fish and a couple of reasonable size hornets flying around the boat thinking I wonder where they came from cause I’m not a big fan of insects (especially spiders, all I can say is thank god never gave them wings... EEERRRRKKK!!) to them deciding we were alright to land on, so I killed one. Then another one, next thing they were everywhere and it was really freaking me out, we had never seen anything like it!! The boat was swarming in them! And by this stage I had more than one of the little mongrels on me and I was panicking. My old man was like they don’t hurt you, BUT I DONT CARE!!! I shook one off my hand with rod and reel in the other (6 month old 4000 Stella on a Tournament Master Diawa rod) pretty pricey combo, and squealing at the same time, to losing my balance as I put my hand back down onto the side of the boat to steady myself and totally missed, throwing my combo over the side and falling in over into the drink after it!!!! What a dumb s@#t!!! Lucky enough I managed to get my hand on the rod before it sunk to the bottom 25m down.
Getting back into the boat and laughing and my old man and partner just shaking their heads at me saying why are you jumping in to get away from them... but they were still everywhere in the boat, me standing there like a drowned rat. I heard a yell and I turned around and my partner decided he wanted to sit down on 2 and copped a stinger straight in the ASS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Who's laughing now! With all 3 of us a thong in each hand, smacking and swiping, my old man is drinking a ice coffee and he says SHIT! OUCH! Looking into his drink there was this hornet and stung him straight on the top lip, lucky he didn’t swallow it!!!!
Lines were pulled in a flash and we were off and leaving them little suckers behind with some of them holding on for dear life before i gave them a swipe and said you’re not blooding hitch hiking back to shore with us, fly you bastards!
Bagafillets with a nice little trout
One of mine
Only some of them we squashed, probably not the best thing to do, cause i think it attracted more? Think i read something like that somewhere.
But it amazed us how they managed to find us, 40kms out!
Nice Dhuie
One of todays trout
Throw back fish, but puts up a good fight on light tackle
And... to top of the day, a nice 700mm Spanglie (dinner tonight)
Bring on Thursday, we are off to Onslow and across to the Macky Islands on Saturday! I cant wait!!!!!!
Cheers Crew

Gulp
Yeah for sure the Gulp grubs are definatly the go to placcy when the fish are a bit quiet. Also they fit a lot better on the heavier jig heads that we use when theres wind and swell to compete with.
Oh and i do smile occasionally Sam
