Skippy Off City Beach
Had a good day out from City Beach today and landed heaps of dinner plate sized skippy. Witnessed one of my worst fishing horrors out on the water when we were the only boat near our spot when a cray boat comes around and starts dropping lines within 20 meters of us. Well, what do you know, theyve found our school of pink snapper and whammo, the 2 boys on the back start hauling up pinks around the 7-8 kg mark, one after another after another until about 12-14 are onboard. By this time i have pulled the anchor and got the skipper to motor within 10 meters and start fishing, no luck whatsoever, the cray skipper goes back around the school again, gets one skippy and disappears off to start dropping his pots again. Devastation had set in, so we decided to go and anchor near one of his pots and use his berley to bring the fish about. After heaps of skippy i managed to hook into a bigger one and it was our only pink snapper for the morning. Boltz then proceeded to land a nice fat king george, photo attached. The skippy thinned out and the sambo's came through and wiped us out on the light stuff, we decided that after witnessing the horror of pro's killing the pig, our dash had been done. We still ended up with a great feed of skippy and a little taste of snapper, was a relatively good day.
