Nice night off Moore River
G'day all
Like all reports, we do it to let others know what is going on and for a little bragging. This one also is for a blatent plug of MickC's pilchard shred.
Got a late start on Fri out of TR and ended up off Gilderton in the pitch black. Easterlies forcast so we stayed in pretty close to the 20m mark and did a bit of drifting to start our night off. I have to say it was pretty slow with good shows on the sounder but nothing being tempted until about 11pm. John and i both hooked up with John landing a 6.5Kg Dhu and me landing a 650g dhu. Damn mine was small.
The wind was picking up a bit so we decided to head inside the reef for some protection and anchor up. We caught a few zz between landing a few undesirables and got set for the dawn run.
About 90min before sunrise we dropped in a block of Micks frozen burley and scattered a few chook pellets soaked in fish oil around. I had caught a few tailor during the night so i floated a lightly weighted fillet down the trail and it wasnt long before a nice 6Kg pinkie was making my new Stradic scream.
About an hour before sunrise we started to feed a small but steady stream of pilchard shred into the mix and then things went bloody nuts. As both our freezers were empty we decided to keep the larger models but i have to say. Dont give this to the commercial fishermen. It's an unfair advantage.
2 80cm pinkies and a 6.5Kg Dhu should keep us going for a while.
Damn cant upload the last photo.
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !

Nice Pinkie
Awesome fish Merv, and you put in the hard yards. Thanks for the "plug", the images of quality fish being caught with our products are steadily growing.

AWSOME fish, I can't wait to
AWSOME fish, I can't wait to get the boat back in at seabird. I have to wait until there is another access put on the beach first.
