Two days in Wollongong 7.7.08
Day 1
Went fishing in wollongong with my gf for 2 days in a row. IT was really fun.
We went there again after last time's unpreparedness of losing a big blackie on light tackle[above video]. So came back with 30lb abrasion resistant line,20lb fluoro trace on a 10kg rod. Another one with 18lb mono platypus. Both were rigged to the float with servo prawns on.
The fish there was very agressive as it has big waves at the rock wall there, so they'll just bite about anything. Got there and landed my first decent fish, a black drummer 37cm. IT was about 1kg or more very fat. Next got another one at 32cm another black drummer (new pb) and caught alot of 25 to 27cm models of blackfish and drummers. My gf also landed her biggest fish, a 27cm blackfish. It was really tough landing these fish as it was over a rockwall full of rocks and i was using a 7ft rod! luckily my line held.
Later in the day I hooked up a monster black drummer even bigger than my first, i estimate it to be in the high 40s to 50cm. It was definately twice as heavy as my first, even my 10kg rod was having trouble getting it out. So i reeled it up half way, i could not turn my reel anymore as it was too heavy hanging in mid air and then the hook flew after the lip ripped off and the bent rod flew back and hit my hard on the lip and bled >_<
anyone know what the bottom right fish is? We kept catching that, im thinking its a juvenile drummer or some other kind.
Day 2
Arrived at high tide, waves was hitting high and hard but stood there, landed a few wrasses after trying to bottom rig but got snagged so switched to float again. I Caught a few more drummers and what i thought was a blue drummer not sure but released. Later this guy gave me some "perch" fish. I lost another decent drummer while reeling up again. Nothing specutacular except for me losing some sort of colorful fish and it was pretty decent too. I was thinking parrotfish, lost half way up the rockwall aswell !
dropped big heavy drummer
Landed another black drummer
Hooked a drummer in the eye
