Fishing Trip to South West Rocks
Arrived SWR on thursday nite,had a few home-made beers and cooked ham cappacio omlett for the three of us.Went to bed with massive reflux and the wind was blowing outside aswell.
At 5.30 Friday we hitched the boat up and went down to view the bar (where the Mcleay river enters the sea)....diabolical,the enterance is all silted up and with a NE wind and wrong tide, your goorne(5 boats have gone to their Nemisis in last 6 weeks).
We decamped to Hat Head where there is a cute/tricky break to the sea from a southerly creek,we decided ok and where away....no risk,also no fish,trolled 5 lures for about 5 hours,even went out to the shelf,but still no luck.Cooked a Surf&Turf..fresh sea prawns from the co-op and rump wrapped in capaccio.....tres bon.
Saturday,the bar at SWR was alot better and at 6.30 we crossed it on our way Grassy Head/Scotts Head and close to Nambucca.The weather was perfect and we caught a good feed of Pearl Perch,Snapper,Jackets,Parrot and Flathead.Back home after cleaning up,a shower and a kip we went up to the Country Club and had a few beers,then back home to cook the Pearlies.
We had some small pieces done munier for entre and 3 whole fish wrapped individually and baked on the BBQ...simply magnificent.
Sunday,no live bait fishing!get in early so straight to the grounds where we caught the Pearlies...Yes? like there is not a fish in the ocean so we abandon our plans on bottom thumping and head the live bait grounds but cant get any Slimey Mackeral but only Yakkas,they have to do!
Straight to "the Peak" of the old Trial Bay Gaol and anchor up.The buzz in town yesterday was that the Cobia were on the bite....our final chance to hook up big.Two live Yakka floaters,three live Yakka's on the bottom and plenty of burly(the skipper reckoned there was $25 worth of burly in the bucket).....wait & wait, then one hit but no hook-up...wait&wait, another hit but still no hook-up.
No fish....we have to head home, over the bar safely,bit dissapointed,but had a great three days.
Thats fishing.......looking forward to Minnie Waters in May.Goto my fishing site at .....http://www.grumpyboy.blogspot.com
