good day at hillarys

went down to hillarys with Liam(SOI) this morning with it starting off slow then with a bit of burley a nice tailor turned up to the young italian bloke next to us,

a few skippy followed this then the bloke next to us hooked a nice occy and lost it at the rocks but liam managed to hook another occy and bring it in...

after a bit more burleying liam brought up a nice tailor and was pretty stoked with that.

just as i was packing up to go home in enviousness for me having a slow day we noticed a big wobby cruising next to the rocks looking for scraps, liam dropped a whole skippy down on 9/0 snells and the wobby grabbed it. He thrashed about for a while but by the time we had located a gaff he had snuck under a rock....liam fought it for a while before the hooks dropped out its mouth

but it was certainly amazing to see a big wobby inhale a whole skippy

 

 didnt get much myself but at least i am re assured that there are fish in hillarys after a long run of bugger all

 

 

cheers,

Reuben

We were thinking of kwinana

Mon, 2008-12-22 21:10

We were thinking of kwinana jetty (brilliant squidding there). Got any good deep spots we could possibly make it if my mum takes me andd him and his mum picks us up we should be able to go somewhere as long as its metro. 

Minimum fishing requirements ;
-2L coke
-2 packs of doritos

-Lollies
-Rockstar/red bull
-secret goodies like Burger rings or a sausage roll (good for trading for bait haha)

-Music

-Probably a rod or two and bait iff possible :)
