Headed out with the Mrs tuesday morning late for an overnighter at lamont Thought we'd target a few trout early then head out onto the flats to see if any red throats and reds were running. could only manage 3 trout and in hind sight we should have got there earlier
The bread and butter species, husser and occaisional flag were plentiful and we bagged out on them and managed 7 red throat before the NW change came up and the whole place shut down.
hooked onto what felt like an ok red throat when all off a sudden his steroids kicked in and the battle began.From down deep I could see what looked like a flowery cod beefing up on me. I finally get him just to the top of the water when out spits a 48cm red throat that was on my line and the old cod heads back down below. bugger.
mrs caught 3 small red emporers which went back for another day and I was given a caning by something that was giving plenty of head shakes and eventually broke an 80 lb paterrnoster loop. I was using a husser head and shoulder for bait so it may have been the cod back for more
A big old chinaman came aboard only to recieve a severe tongue lashing before getting to live another day.
Plenty of whales out from rock cod shoals to lamont at present. tried fishing for a few tuskies on the way home but the shoals seemed pretty quiet with the bottom of the tide and Nor wester present
