Its been good

Yesterday I got snapped off big time ... not sure by what.
Anyway I got some of this new graphite wire like tresse braid lead thingo. Works well and have landed with it. Nothing jumped off to date.
But the end of Autumn is nigh! The last evening past of hanging on to summer,
So what will winter bring. I'm looking forward to some big Tailor. Love em.
Sliced to the bone across the sides. Hot plate on high. Oil and butter on the plate, seasoning sprinkled on the fish both sides. 3 minutes a side and there you have one great taste.
One more worm left for the morning!
Keep an ear out.

Great Morning

Better now!
And a great morning for a little fishing ... Emphasis on little.
Four fish ashore before a keepable one in the bag. A nice 32cm whiting who decided that he had a major dislike for sand!
I took him on a plate to friends for their breakfast.
Great autumn down here.
And the worms ... long term keeping ... if you roll them in beach sand, wrap them in newspaper and freeze them they'll be ok for a long time. When you want to use them just give them an hour or two thawing, soak them in salt water for a little then bingo! Fresh live dead worms! Bobby told me that this morning on the beach. Thanks Bobby
Tight lines etc!

all good and new

New worms today, big big seas. Youl'd think that there would be no fish. Correct. Had a throw today in the arvo but big movement, big weed and not a nibble. Dosen't matter. Nice energy though.
New reel too! More later ... when ? Soon
Maybe tomoz

I'm Back

Been crook as.
Got some fresh blood the other day and last night finally tracked down and bagged a beautiful 35cm Cockney off the beach. Went up a few hook sizes to no 2 long shank and went back to the old small reel and the simple setup of sinker running, swivel a good 40cm trace then the hook with a big fat wormie. Hit like a bomb and took off which required a little playing with the tension (on the fly). The light rod was fun and finally got him in in the dark. I think it was a bloke.
So I thought it was a bream but when a mate came around for tucker him reckons it was a Squire. Out came the fish reference books. Guess what it is a Cockney ... in the snapper class.
But still crook as ... so gotta go.
