Sea-Leg Withdrawals - Epic Weekend!!

Foreword by Blackbeard

After being high and dry for the past week or so (due to crook weather), the Pirates were having serious sea-leg withdrawals from not being on the high seas......aarrrrrrgh!! The weekend's forecast looked good, apart from the chocolate Poo coloured water in close. This was the result of the previous week's rainfall and dirty water currents pushing up from the South...  However, it didn't seem to deter the predatory fish.....if anything, it excited them.....arrrrrrrgh!!  From Beakys, deep water ogles, pelagics, such as kingfish and Dolphin fish, to the inshore predators like Jewfish and Snapper, they were all on the chew......aarrrrgh!!
Pirates then went their separate ways in search of the Ultimate treasure....arrrrrgh!! With Captain Feathersword tied up on a Bucks weekend, the rest of us scurvy pirates found time on the water. Captain Frothalot nailed a nice king of 105cm on his solo mission Sunday morning off Sydney. Down on the South Coast, Captain Hack watched 3 Beaky's hooked up from the stones, only to be lost a short time after. Captain Jay also ventured down south on what was more of a leisure weekend with Family, and bagged a nice feed of thumper squid. Myself, I got amongst a nice session of Jewish off Sydney.....and last but not least, the Bonnici's.....They took fishing to the next level. Spending more time on the water than on land. Including a sleep over Friday night on the high seas......FREAKS!!!....arrrrrrrrgh!!!! See pics below.

The weekends plan was to catch Jew, King, have a Deep water Jig, and Jag a Marlin, but unfortunately we missed out on the Marlin. So, I rang my boss and asked for the Monday off, he replied by saying "Only if you take me". The result - 4 stripes and a Blue.......Stoked!!!
