Thursday night goldie run to Lorna
Gday All,
Well with all the interest in Lorna this week I thought I'd better get out there to keep an eye on my favourite grounds.
I checked with a few usual deckies only to get NO and a maybe so the missus got the job which was cool cause she
loves washing the boat when we get home .
The run out was one of the best we'd had in a long time WOT all the way arriving at Lorna about 6.00 pm . I put a few
calls out for the other FFF's who said they were going but only mac10 (Chris) was there . He was at the top end and not
catching much. After an hour or so he worked his way down to my spot which wasn't fishing well either. We rafted up
for a while to wait for the turn of the low tide .
The sounder looked OK but no action . So I made Chris take the oath of secrecy and we headed off to SPOT X It was a great little night session with both boats doing well , Chris and his deckie managed to get up early for the next tide swing
and nailed a few more rippers. With the sun up and Mackies launching out of the water it was time to get the lures out . Another good trip and a good run home as well
Cheers
Jeff

If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!
Especially when you can see them!

Re: Thursday night goldie run to Lorna
Thanks Jeff for letting me tap in on your hot spots. As Jeff mentioned we all caught some great fish with the biggest Goldie in our boat going 75cm. It was a struggle waking up at 5am after for the tide but well worth it with a fish a drop for an hour or so.
20mins saw our bag limit of Spanish taken care of so we made the trip back in about 90mins to catch the tide at Nightcliff. Good weather, good fish, good times.
