LBG at JB '23-'24
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2023 12:44 pm
I know I don't post on here much anymore but I thought I'd try and write fairly regular reports about the LBG situation up here at JB.
Watching the currents drift down the coast and the warmer water start to arrive, Cam, Sammy and I decided it was time to start putting in some significant effort off the rocks.
Two Sundays ago we dropped into a school of rat kings, and spent the better part of 6 hours hooking and releasing them on lures, live baits and floats.
After a couple of salmon and a livebait vanishing without a trace, Sammy nailed the first king of the year and her first on lure with a 25g gillies glow baitfish.
Being a relative newcomer, getting the first fish annoyed the f out of Cam and I. Not to worry.....
Cam was next on a float with a chunk of salmon.
Wanting to show the youngens how it's done, I put my rod down and Jedi mind tricked one out of the water for myself.
This went on, with metal lures being the preferred method, for the better part of the afternoon and into the evening. The final tally was Cameron 7, Sammy 4 and Dougie 3.
Just as we'd finished packing up, my one remaining livebait went off, and it was on like donkey kong.

Easily dropped a PB. This is a great sign for things to come this year.
Dougie's king tally after day one is 3.
