I'm so depresseed !!!

Our Baron Sportsman still has 4-6 maybe even 8 weeks until it hits the water again. Out of desperation to get anything wet, we had spent a couple of nights on the jetty at Woodmans point.

The first night I fished there had a couple of good runs, some boys caught a decent Gummy Shark, (1) big squid and we had a wrestle with a Ray, so this time (second time) we thought...preparation is the key... so we prepped the crap out of everything, even built a bloody trolley to take everything out to the jetty on, got a nice box of fresh squid, a big block of fresh Pilchards, some Blue Sardines and some White bait for good measure...... When we got there, we saw a lot of other people fishing from the jetty, crikey we thought we may have a problem getting a good spot. Funny enough, there was a spot right at the end of the jetty, so we trekked to the end and settled into our "Spot"

So we spent the next 6 hours feeding a Sea Lion, all with our lovely aforementioned bait. We kept hoping he would go away soon and he kept hoping we would be stupid enough to stick around and keep feeding him. He was a very healthy and cheeky Sea Lion whoobviously knew his way around the lines very well, at times it was hard to figure out whether there was only one, or a couple working in a bait snatching union.

It was a beautiful night, got a tad cold in the wind by midnight, but overall it would have been pretty good for fishing.

To anyone who is feeling even the slightest bit of sympathy for me, could they PM me with any place in the Metro area that I could catch a decent fish or at least have the chance to without the Sea Lion Training. As most of our fishing had been done from the boat, we are very unaware of spots and areas from shore for land based fishing. The reason for asking for PM is because if you have a secret spot, we WILL keep it a secret, so your spot will not get pilferred.

Cheers.... Darryl
