Flat Head

Date: 14-02-2015     Time: 20.00      Rod: Murugen Pathfinder 7ft.     Reel: Silstar AT80 Spinning reel.     Line: 30lbs braided with 50lbs mono.     Rig: Short Snood bottom feeder      Bait: Live kambong.

As tonite high tide is early at around 8.30pm, after that the current is slow. So i decided to bring another rod to target the big barramundi below the jetty. Bait fish was very rare this afternoon. I started to jig around 4.30pm but only able to get a few. Among it was a small kambong fish. I decide to use it on a live bait cable car rig.

No taker even until 6.30pm. I decided to switch tactic. I change the position of the rod and also the rig to short snood bottom feeder. My target…the big barramundi below. Using the same live bait, I lower it down the jetty.

Around 8pm, I saw my 7ft rod rattle alittle. I decide to check, well… it turn up this flat head grab my live bait. As no more live bait and the current has die down, I call it a day.

Yellow Tail Catfish

Date: 25-01-2015     Time:0100am      Rod: Century Vectra 13.6ft      Reel: Shimano Torium 30     Line: 40lbs mono     Rig: Long snood bottom feeder     Bait: Squid

Ah An caught this Yellow tail catfish or Mayon early this morning when the tide was mid way up. The fish pull his line when the current was fast. I strike it for him before passing the rod back to him to fight. As we got other rods to wind back, I ask him to play it slowly until I get my gaff ready. I gaff it and it weigh around 5kg. Earlier he also landed a conger eel around a kg plus. Using the same bait which was still intact, he casted out again and it attracted this catfish. So it is one squid bait two fishes landed.
