Glenelg Jetty, early season land-based Snapper
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2019 11:28 pm
With the recent reports of Seb and Matari having gone fishing , , , , in this cold , , , , I thought better not be shown up by the young blokes. This Ol'Fisho had something to proove.
So all layered up with warm clothing like "Onion Boy" and the car packed with , , , , the car , , , , I was ready to roll.
I went to my fishing destination, Glenelg Jetty to see if any early season land based Snapper were about. Great scenery. The water was slightly murky but not dirty, so in with a chance.
The night rolled in, the lights of the bustling coastal suburb was shining it's glow, cascading flickering romantic shimmers across the water as those soporific sounds of the waves were , , , , hold on, maybe I should have been more land based at The Walker's Arms listening to a Band and trying my luck with some of the land fairing catches , , , , ah, well, the dice were cast.
As were the rods, cast. Two Surf rods, may seem overkill on a Jetty but need to fang it out far, and the extra length helps manoeuvre any fish away from the Jetty structure. As I might have been "manoeuvring" around the dance floor, but to no avail
In true Baito style , , , , sit and wait , , , , and contemplate some great opening lines if I was out charming the ladies
So, to be even lazier, Circle hooks are used, with a Pillie half on one and a piece of Squid on the other , , , , with the hook exposed to do their thang :thumbsup:
Now, the fishing was poor , , , , only a couple of Port Jacksons , , , , Aaaah, The Jackson Five , , , , could have been listening to those cover bands
So as far as the fishing went , , , , compared to Seb and Matari who landed a few , , , , I caught nothing , , , , yep, nothing to keep
As the night rolled on, it was clearly evident to me that there was no-one else on the Jetty.
First I thought, it was too cold, then I thought maybe the other fishos knew something I didn't know. The Jetty hasn't fished well for some time now, so this may have been it.
But then, there were no Jetty Walkers, as there always is.
A perplexing phenomenon.
Then it came to me , , , , two words , , , ,
Alien Abduction
So the thought of Alien probing wasn't high on my "to do list", so I got the heck out of there right away
Cheers, Bugz , , , , who should have been at The Walkers on his own probing adventures
