G'day all, just thought I'd post up my latest landbased effort, my bro' inlaw Frank had some recent success at this spot recently (including a suspected metery but he didn't have a measuring board). Myself, Frank and Adam (the Barra virgin) left around 2 in the arvo with a low at around 5:30 and started casting SP's (mainly Slickrig Dropbears 100-130mm), saw Skinny from Just Tackle rock up across the way and said Hello. Another mate Maso and his wife Mandy and son Toby also paid us a visit.
Although we got a few hits we didn't get a fish till after 6 with myself hooking up to a nice fiesty Baz jumping and pulling heaps of string, Maso netted it and we measured it off at 81, while I was lining it up on the Brag Mat I lost my footing and went arse up into the drink slicing my fingers up on the oysters OUCH!!, released the fish and went and washed myself up picking the bits out with a hook.
Next to hook up was Adam who's fish came out all silver and we called it for his first Baz, he got it under control and a nice Queeny came to the rocks, spewin'. Still picking shell out of my fingers the boys had some fun with a few Tealeaf Trevs, I looked up as one of Franks fish neared the rocks to see a nice Barra slide into view, leaping into action I scrambled down the rocks and landed it going 76. Spurred on by that fish I recommenced casting pretty soon got a near twin to my first at 81.5 as the sun went down.
In the twilight I clipped on a Skitterpop and was working it in the quiet water on the leeside of the rockbar and was rewarded with a strike on my 5th cast, unfortunately it didn't hook up sending the lure sailing through the air. As I wound it up Frank hooked up and landed a nice 80. We were just getting into casting again when a squall rocked up from the NNE and with winds up to 45 knots it chased us off the rocks. All in all a very enjoyable arvo.
Cheers, Daisy
