The Local Adventures of Worleybird

This is a report from months ago.  Just wanted to post it as it shows the diversity of fish that we get here.

Well finally I got out for a fish in my kayak.  This was the first trip in my kayak and offshore for while.  I’ll keep it short as I don’t remember a lot about the day other than it was full of variety.

I paddled out to pig island off coffs harbour.  It started fairly calm but there was a bit of swell and the wind came up a bit once I was out.  I was just keen to get into some fish, especially the kingies that were there last time I went out there.  It ended up one of those classic mixed bags you get sometimes when fishing.  I ended up catching over 7 species.  All in exactly the same way. Plastics retrieved erratically from the wash around the northern side of the island.  It was great to see the variety.  Nothing massive but I was able to keep a kingy and a got a decent salmon that threw the hooks at the boat.  All up a good day but a bit too much sun on the legs.  Now you can just oogle the pics!!
