Test Run

Had a session today with The Man Who Busts Tackle (and thats another story) to get ourselves set for a trip we are doing to Rocky in March. Put in at Donnybrook to a howling southerly. Spent most of the day trying to get out of the wind. Did I mention it was howling :shock:.

Poked around in Poverty, Glasshouse and worked our way up to Hussey. Fishing was painfully slow but we managed a flat one

then two of these little fuglies

Attachment 36326

which were caught right in front of where people swim and launch at this campsite

Attachment 36327

which reminds us why we need shoes in Pumistone.

So after much plastic chucking we pumped some yabbies and had fun catching fish the easy way :p:p.

Thanks for the day Pete, just good to be on the water, although it felt like we were fishing in a washing machine. 25knt wind against tide isn't really that much fun. Oh, and my 7' abu nano 3-5 kg stick is now only 6'6". So now is probably 4-7 kg stick :72:

so thats why your called tackle buster? cause you bust up rods


also seemed like a good day i know a american went to pick up a stone fish till i noticed and kicked the thing away when i was fishing a week or so ago

Well done boys

sounds like you boys needed some local knowledge,I could of told you were to go and what to do there

TB has no trouble in the days he's fished with me, in fact he's won the "flathead forage", I think you might have elsewhere why you didn't catch fish. Could it be you gunna?

Last time Shane and I fished there I got the only flatty !!!

Don't think a Trawler would have caught anything out there today. AND I'm sick of people telling me where to go and what to do. lol

Better take a couple of extra rod's to Rocky mate.

Well there was one time, or maybe two. We went to the Mary and fished around Beaver Rock for a few days, that was good weather and we caught a heap. The straights were a bit blowy though. The flatty classic was pretty good weather, caught a few. Actually today was only the third time I've fished with Pete, so 2 out of 3 ain't bad. I reckon there's a song in that.

Yes Baz, you're right, my track record is not that good. I've got a shed full of rods that have shrunk over time. Good excuse to buy another rod though.
