Fished my regular spots at salt rock on saturday. rushed up at around 10:00 and dug up some red bait. at around 11 started fishing the close gullies and where getting some huge blacktail! haven't seen them around in a while.
all blacktails ranged from around 500g to 1.2kg. when the tide started to pick up i saw some nice size fish in the waves so i whipped out a 12ft rod and on my first cast i picked up a 2kg stonebream on the second a 1.5kg banded galjoen on the third hooked up with something huge, fought it for around 5mins and it came of the hook suspected a brusher or bronze bream.
at around 2 the water started to get a bit too heavy almost picking me of the rocks so i moved more towards christmas bay and caught 5 stone bream ranging from 1kg to 2.8kg and 3 banded galjoen all in the 1.5kg range.
on saturday there were too many fish in the water! i saw a couple of fish getting stranded on the rocks waiting for the next wave to take them back in. was alot of fun even though the locals were cussing at me for releasing the stone bream and some banded galjoen!
on sunday i fished the harbour and for most of the day it was a graveyard! just a couple under sized grunters and 1 sized. The harbour is becoming really dissapointing.
all in all it was an exciting saturday and a relaxing sunday.
