Fishing today next to garden island causeway
Went fishing today with the GF for the first time ever, wanted to teach her to fish. To my suprise her first cast was better then anyones first cast it was perfect and the squid jig went a far distance, very very impressed tbh..
Drifted around some broken ground and got some nice squid to start off with. Then nothng for about 30mins, decided to pull out some of my new lures i got for christmas, was a bit sketchy and i never really caught anything other than sambos, squid tuna and that sorta of fish on a lure.
First cast of my 1m diver and I've hooked up i was shocked lol got it to the boat and it's a pike? or something like a gardy not to sure what it is, big big teeth on it tho.
Went for a troll with a few lures to try get my GF a fish, she was on and pulled in another pike a good 50-60cm long. She was stoked :D
Went for a troll around the 4-5m mark and my rod got a massive run, thought it must be better than the pike we have been catching, as a nice boy i let her wind it in, a nice size tailor. Was very proud of her :D
trolled around some more and got some more pike and squid, no more tailor =(
Would love to catch more tailor, where abouts is a nice spot from the beach, or dingy. Try some more of my x-mas lures
All in all 40 degree day, went to glass around 10. Excellent day.

Its funny you say this, i was
Its funny you say this, i was trolling plastics in the sounds last week, and caught heaps of tailor, then a school of long tom came through around 60cm long about 10 of them, smashing up the plastics!! One launched itself out the water hitting up my plastic! I didnt think you could catch them this far south?? I thought they were huge gardies at first too, then i saw the teeth!

That would explain what may have snipped my favourite squid jig off the other day near the causeway.Good excuse to go and buy some more.

Just fun using lures and
Just fun using lures and getting smashed, trolling in the old tinny and you just hear your rod start running.
Just starting to get into lures for river/ocean and a lot more trolling, rather run and a lot cleaner then bait
