Friday afternoon Bobby got stuck into a Diamond Ray and had it on his
line for one and a half hrs., a boat was used to help land the fish but it
eventually broke loose, this was on a 6ft river rod with 15lg Line and a number
2 hook unlucky Bobby, the video of part of the fight is on the FB page. The
river carried on producing fish throughout the day in interestingly a Rock
Salmon or River Snapper was landed at the main car park. Saturday was again a
day of action and adding to the species, I fine Young Malabar Rockcod was
landed as well as more Cob, interesting thing was size Cob and Grunter were
landed during the day as mainly they are caught early morning of evening.
Surf.
Was quiet but for those that put in the effort were rewarded with,
Garrick, Diamonds, Cob, Cat face Rockcod. The sea settled after Friday and was
fishable. The week ahead looks okay nothing to set the world alight but with
the wind swinging like it does should keep the side wash away. Our condolences
to the family of the Angler that got swept off the rocks at Vidal and drowned.
Please guys remember the Golden Rule when rock and surf fishing………Never turn
your back on the sea.
