Micky Ts LBG style

Rain, rain and more rain. I snuck back to Australia for my Dad's 70th with out him or Mum knowing. Well anyway after the birthday party it was time to fish. Wife free and Kid free for a week. Sleep was not on the cards. Didn't take long before the phone was ringing as friends found out I was back down under. Jabba (Andrew Burke) rang just as I was walking out from two days on the rock down the south coast. Things had been slow with a few rat Kings and Bonito.

"Bla, Bla, Bla heard you were back and are looking at going fishing. Im going up the coast for a day trip are you keen"

"You bet, what time, where and how?"


Well later that night I was in a car with Jabba and Del who we picked up in Sydney. Having not seen Jabba for a few years there was lots to catch up on. Plus it was the first time I have met Del and chatted. We soon worked out we had fished the rock together many years ago and landing Marlin off the rocks the same day.

We pulled the car into the car park at 4.30am and were pleased to find it empty. A quick power nap and we were on our way out to the rocks before the sun poked its head up. Baits were easy to come by until the Tailor moved in. They made short work of any bait hooked plus the jig they were on. After a while they moved on and we were able to set live baits out with hassle free drifts. Things were slow to start with but fish were getting hooked and some landed. By 2pm we had a Mack each but that was about to change. As the afternoon shadows started to hit the water the place came alive. In the next 2hr there was a bait eaten I would say every 10-15min. Andrew hooked into some thing that took alot more line than a Mac should. On 6kg there was not much he could do but just watch and enjoy the fun. Then after a screaming run the hook pulled.


The Mac's were still around to play games with and a late afternoon hook up made for a great way to finish a quick trip back to Oz.
