Rotto Lb session
Spent 4 days at rotto on a service run 2 weeks ago and headed down to thomsons bay for an arvo shore bash. Started out in a past faithful spot which after some perseverance i hooked up and the fireblood was humbing!! Then after a tough little battle a hefty silver trevally was landed followed by 2 more.
Night fall came and it was into squid but for no luck. The night was olnly about to get started though as a couple of ladies and their children were at the end of the ferry terminal fishing. One lady decided to fill her bucket with water and headed down towards the beach. Next thing i was dialing 000 as the lady had slipped and fallen on the boat ramp and seriously cut open the back of her leg from her calf to the top of the back side of her leg. The last ive heard is she has had three operations now and its not going that well...
The next night i wasnt going to let it put me off and headed back down. This time hooked up on a cracker of a tarwhine which measured 36cm.
Anyways check out the huge buffys. I would guess some were in the range of 20kg!!
And check out the wheels we were in. You know its not cool when people on bikes look and laugh and then pass you. #$%^&

That's a great tarwhine. Now
That's a great tarwhine. Now to hook into those buffies... Somehow. Landing them is a different story of course.

That's the sort of transport you need for a lb trip to Rotto
Just need to put in some rod holders on the front.
Looks like you had some good fun out there.

Nice fish man, seen those
Nice fish man, seen those buffies before, around halfway up the jetty. Also some monster rays at the end. Saw a kingfish there as well - bloody big one, although couldnt hook it. All in all, good jetty!
