MURCHISON BOAT HIRE OCTOBER 2014 ELETTER
A
quiet month due to the demersal ban on at the moment. There’s plenty of other
fish to catch but
the
weather plays a part in it all this time of year. The water is still warm and a
22kg
yellow-fin was landed just out the river mouth last week! And hirers got one
last week.
I feel the mackerel and tuna will be back
earlier than usual this year, watch this space!
Getting
the 7.8m boat into 2C survey is taking a long time!
Great day out from Kalbarri
mulloway, tailor,
tarwhine or something in the category 2 list. I had a hunch there might be
something on a lump I know
and Sue and I went
there early and anchored up.
First up we got a
couple of big snapper on the 6kg outfits we were using but they had to go back!
a 16.37kg fish that
won her the game section in the comp and she is also claiming it as a Game
Fishing record on 6kg line
with ANSA. This pending
record if approved will beat the previous record of a 13.2kg fish caught by
Philip Worsley at
South West Rocks, NSW on the 5th May 2008.
Sue later landed a
second mulloway around 10kg while my second was only 6.5kg and then I had to
release a third around 12kgs!
Not a bad morning’s
work as we were back in by 9am.
Here is a 2 minute video
of how she did it
How many rods should you have?
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really
need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause
your significant other to dump you.
