I picked up a new Shimano 12 foot beach rod and Rhino reel last weekend and ended up yesterday evening heading around the corner to Kurnell. Got a few bites but nothing caught. Mum’s partner who I was fishing with picked up a nice Yellowfin Bream which went really well on the BBQ.
Went out again this morning, but again only locally. Started @ just before high tide under Tom Ugly’s bridge but we were getting nothing and it was too bloody cold. Its amazing how cold it is under a bridge, even standing in the sunlight, the wind tunnel under the bridge had some serious chill factor. Ended up packing things up and heading back to Kurnell where it took bloody 3-4 hours to actually get a single nibble and that was about it. A rather dissapointing effort and so my new rod is still a virgin.. Oh well, lets see what next weekend brings along.
When the weather starts warming up and I start doing earlier starts with work (riding the bike during winter in the early hours is painfully cold, so at the moment i kinda do a later start) I’d get home with enough time to potentially wander down to Kurnell during the week and pick up a few fish in time to whack it on the BBQ ready for when Sara gets home from work.
This is my first time back at fishing for quite some years. I used to always go out to the local rivers and try and catch anything I could, so its kinda good to start up again. It’s nice and relaxing as well and we know how much I enjoy my relaxing weekends away from work these days
