Hillarys
Submitted by Leemo on Sun, 2008-03-09 08:07
headed down to the north wall of hillarys for an efternoon/evening session and ended up staying till 11 o'clock! caught 1 butterfish that engulfed the hook right ino its gullet so we had to snap its neck and get the hook out.
thats all the action we had for a number of hours but when i went for a walk upto the lighthouse, i saw these guys bringing in herring and yellowtail consistently with every cast! we only had the alvey out at the time so i decided to have a few casts and try to get me some herring and yellowies. 10 casts later i didnt have a set of gangs left on my rig!
met up with kaitan and he mentioned he might be going to the other side

I think I saw you dudes
I was fishing right on the end of the wall, to the west of the two guys catching Herring.
I was chasing tailor and skippy. No tailor around, but managed to jag a decent sized cray and catch a nice cobbler.

Sorry mate
It was spur of the moment thing. My daughter had to go to a party at Padbury and had to be picked up, so I I thought I would have a quick fish instead of going home and coming back. I will call you again soon, just sorting out an issue at home. I have a good spot picked out.
All the best Colin
