So my once a month trip came around and finally could take the missus out on the boat, decided on a tide free area as i couldn't drop the 13 month old to the babysitters at 5:30am and go to shoal bay but thats the way it goes. i love the early starts best time of the day instead we arrived at the boat ramp at 10 o'clock with only a few trailers parked up
Made our way down stream checking the sounder and stopping at a few likely spots but no such luck even after a few lure changes the fish i was seeing on the sounder weren't interested
We stopped at Hardies Junction as i could see where the other 445 Hornet made his way through the gap the missus was keen to keep going until i said she may have to get out and push on the way back (thanks for that info Flicken4em) so after a quick F&@k that she said we threw the anchor and continued to throw lures around with only losing a couple and gaining someone else jighead.
Soon enough it was time to head back and you know prior to being a parent you never had to rush off early from fishing, id even waited to crack my first can at 13:30 just so i could keep fishing without stopping for a another beer.
So the one last stop came up which involved hopping off and going for a walk at a billabong just off the main river water not flowing much but i did score a lure which looks likes it seen a few meters of water go past
Back at the ramp at 14:30 ready to head back.
To sum it up I'm not having much luck in my last few trips but i still wanted to share the outing and a few pics, i can't be the only one not catching but i might try some different tactics next time like live bait thats what grew up doing the most and always seem to bring home a feed
unless someones stashed a banana in my boat wouldn't that be F&%$#D too
feel free to take the p..s and while you do it share some tips
