Goldenballs !

Fished town quay last night with bassman(goldenballs)rob , his mate and deano , arrived at 5.30 pm had lunch then on to the fishing .... weather was a bit blowy with a few showers high water pushing 11.30 pm , was pretty quiet untill near on high water with plenty of bath shark sized hounds coming out getting more of a pest than the non existing pout there at the mo , big mackeral baits were geting nibbled by the bass and the worm baits were coming in nearly untouched , .... target species were bass and sole , for which rob was in with a nice sized slip ................



then as we were trying to unhook that his other rod went mental , bending right over the railings , struck and in on a 3 hook flapper with size 1 hooks baited with worm and was his first hound of the night about 6 lb ................



had a little bash at the surface feeding smelt on tiny hooks for livebait ..............



great fun , whilst playing with the monster smelt , rob had a another few rattles on his big maccy bait picked up the rob thinking it was schoolies again and lifted into a half decent bass of around the 3 1/2 lb mark , let me catch something rob .......................



Then all went quiet again , well it was for me all night , .........sat there and watched robs rod double over again , he then lifted into a good scrapping fish , so with the net ready and his mate climbing over the bars ready to net this hard fighting monster it surfaced and went absolutely mad , then realsied he had 2 hounds on a 3 hook flapper again on size 1 hooks , the biggest going 5 and the smallest at 2 1/2 that was foul hooked , hence the almighty fight (never seen that before) ...................



, he was on fire well what a cracking nights fishing amongst friends , stayed untill 5.30 am this morning rob left elated , deano blanked but he was only there for a couple of hours and only targeting bass , robs mate had a micro pout , and me a smattering of bath sharks and a solitary micro pout , great night and well done rob couldnt put a foot wrong

Great post well done a good nights fishing good pics too... Frank
