    Bloody hell Andrew well done what great fish and the fight is awesome.
    You know your fishing and we are lucky to get to see how it's done.
    Thank you
    I fixed my outboard today so all have to do is find somewhere to stay and have some good weather and hopefully before or after the full moon I get over there.
    I hear the full moon puts them off not sure if that's true

      @Lowysfishing  Год назад +1

      I think the full moon can be boom or bust Reg. I make sure im on the water before 1st light as that in my opinion is the best time along with the first few hours of light. At least your boats sorted 🙌

    Kingy excitement plus some
    You were more pumped over them than your love of Jewies
    That was a Top Session
    Cheers

      Aside from that shark i hooked not long ago nothing pulls line like they were i was definitely pumped 😂 definitely alot more exciting than jewys maybe cause of the visual hookups an amount of them 🤷‍♂️ an yer 1 guy was pretty close in the end out of desperation to hook up 😂 he still didnt but an then he went elsewhere.

      Hey mate, depending on wind cause these spots will b blow outs if its over 20kph. Theres plenty of bream an flattys down mannering park way on the cockle beds in 12-20ft of water. West of pulbah also has good fish at times but been quiet of late. Down around bolton point also has good cockle beds in the bay between there an toronto an wangi point has been fishing fairly good aswell. Hopefully that helps mate 👍
