HIya Guys,
With the current weather and fishing conditions not producing much shark action I have started to enjoy my Eds fishing alot more again.
So with this in mind we made some plans for an early morning visit to Ruby's Hole with Dean (RASSPL) and DL. Dean was going to let us in on a top secret spot for a collecting sand praws in a hurry. Arriving at the location I would never believe the bounty! 3 prawns a pump and bob's your uncle we were done in no time at all.
Dean this spot will go to my grave...thanks for that bit of extra local knowledge!!
Now the plan was to at the wall for 5am with bait and all, however both Dean and I overslept and it was closer to 7am that we managed to get first lines out. Baited up with sand prawn I made my first cast straight into the honey pot and went on straight away with a fish!
It felt nice and heavy but did not kick up much fuss on my light tackle outfit. Only when the fish came in close did I realise I had hooked up on the line of another angler who had walked up the wall to make his cast and then made his way back down to the beach.
Bit of a let down when I pulled a half kilo Cape White Stump out the water. After all the weight I did expect something a little larger! LoL
Quickly rebaited with prawn and went straight into the same spot. Hardly touched base and I went tight after a good take. Bit more fight on this fish and it put up a little stink. I was expecting a Blue Fish, but when it came up I was VERY happy to see a ice little Poensie or Black Mussel Cracker!!
I was fishing my little 11ft custom, GrandWave 20, 50lb Braid mainline, 0.50 leader and hook snood and my favourite hook #9 Ryochi hook.
