?? Lots of large baldies around ??

Two like peas out of a pod from 45 metres hard bottom / coral  on Saturday .............they seem to be featuring in quite a number of catches which I find a little unusual.

Bagged out with a dhuie and a great black bum by 9.30am to go with these two

with a side of tiger prawns and an Amelia Park fillet steak for a feast - one fillet easily fed four hungry adults and two kids - the rest were vacuum packed and frozen - where else but in Australia !

These on bait? I've found

These on bait? I've found they dont seem as keen on the artificials as other species.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Yes - skinned occy and flathead fillet

Tue, 2011-12-20 12:25

I have yet to catcvh a fish on soft plastics (other than redfin in freshwater) despite trying really hard and often

 

I actually met with the owner of Berkley Tackle when in Alaska recently and had a few drinks with him and explained how frustrated I was at my failure to break my dismal duck on saltwater species.

Out of the blue he sent me 20 packets of softies to try - still no success so I have reverted to reliable bait, skinned fresh occy and fillets of western king wrasse or sand flathead (which when I can catch a few appear to be a deadly bait)
