Son out-fishes father!!

Shocker! We were out for a small lure session off the rocks last night when the unthinkable happened... James Snr. pretended to know what HE was doing.. giving way too much advice to a determined James Jnr. As the night went on James Jnr's casting ability improved greatly due to gritty determination on his part... Sadly James Snr. forgot the golden rule of water craft... and by belting the lures to the horizon (in a somewhat Manly fashion) failed to connect to any fish. James Jnr. connected to this fine Pollack right under his feet to snatch Victory on the night!! Well done James!
The winner holding his prize..... Even I managed a few fish on the night.... The venue....

Jelly and Pollack

Out for an afternoon fishing on the Yak...i had wanted to fish the evening but it was already windy and a force 7 was coming....
I got there to find very choppy conditions so i was limited to a sheltered spot, but what a spot!
Pollack after pollack came up to various types of jelly,s all around the same size..no monsters..


Great sport on the lure rod...and the sun was blazing!

I did get a very big hit but it came off and i didn't see the fish..so who knows?
The jig head hook was bent...Bass?
All the fish went back..not sure how many, lost count after a while you don't care when its a red letter day!
