our 2nd match at port carlisle 3/5/14

[Billzo]

heads over sharp 2 go & get a few fresh crab 4 the match but on way there we desided 2 just head down 2 the mark 2 have a good lookaround @ low water.
2 of my m8's desided they were just gonna get sorted & have a few chucks just down from the carpark & i just said i was gonna take a walk round the headland 2 see if any holes or chanels had apeared where we were gonna fish but on the way round the headland there was a patch of broken rocks so thought i would just take a chance on there b'ing some peelers, glad i did first little rock over & a peeler, 2nd rock another peeler then i got my eye on a big boulder at waters edge the siz of a single fridge 30 +peeler under it so that was crab sorted
my m8 had 3 fish in 3 chucks from the off i had 2 first 2 chucks & this was even b4 the bore.
when the bore came it was nothing with b'ing a sml tide, still a strong current but we had tucked in2 the corner of the bay so we were bufferd by the headland.
we could stil fish the strong tide at around 10yrds out but the rest of the club were having problems holding.
a good days fishing had by all, every1 caught aswell as 2 juniors, i managed 2nd place thistime so chuffed with that, just wished i had'nt 4got 2 take my smelly macky from freezer sooner as it was still frozen so was using fresh macky half the match with still a few fish but when i started on my smelly macky it was double shots of flats & my m8 was not getting a touch on the fresh but soon as he got some off me he was back in2 the fish again, we should have hammerd them.

Well done Bill mate, looks like Cal was on form too....looks like Marty's slipping a bit though lol! Were the fish preferring the crab to rag worm now? I know they can make the switch pretty quick & I know what you mean about the mackerel...I'd much prefer my own frozen stuff to a bit of shop-bought fresh. I've still got tons of the stuff with not using a lot over the winter & it'll not be long before I'll need to clear a bit of space in the freezer!
