Hello,
This morning we woke at 4:30am so we could drive to Woody Head, Iluka. Motoring out to the spot, we were surrounded by fog which didnt allow us to see anything, with only the distant crash of the surf to aid in direction.
We had recently installed a GME GX300 27MHz radio in the tinny, so this was also a trial run with it. Shame the battery teminals were put on the wrong way at launch becuase it blew the fuse and we had no radio (not saying who it was for their sake). Oh well, something Dad will have remember for next time!
Hoping to catch some snapper, we chucked out floating pillies and some live yellowtail for anything that took a liking to them.
Casting large (7 and 5in) Berkely Gulp Jerkshads in Blue Neon Pepper (?) and Nuclear Chicken proved fruitless so they spent most of the time floating around in the rod holders. This proved succesful in a way with myself catching 3 red rock cod and a small moray eel on a 5in Blue Neon Pepper jerkshad.
The pilchards worked as well with Dad landing a small snapper around 50cm and a large bream. All I caught with the pillies was more red rock cod and a blind shark.
The yellowtail we threw out as a livie got take under a few times, though afterwards it came in unscathed, so we werent sure as to what it was.
On the return journey we stopped off at our secret fishing spot for a quick spin. This resulted with some sort of strange cod being landed by yours truley on an Atomic Hardz S40, with the first cast.
This spot usually produces many bream on SP's and hardbodies, but not today as the recent floods have deposited a lot of rock and sediment in the area, making it a shallow and poor fishery. But it has cleared out the nearby creek bed of extensive weed beds, allowing future kayak/canoe trips a possibility.
Thanks for reading. Till next time>>>
