Rat Rock

Location: Rat Rock
Date: 14.10.08
Time: 8:00 -11.30pm
Weather: Full Moon, little cloud, calm night
Crew: Huggett, Toon, Arnold, Willo
Target Fish: Gummy, Snapper
Bait: Squid, Pillies, Eel
Rigs: Snapper snatchers and running paternoster rig
Berley: 1 large blue grenadier carcass
Catch: 3 x Eagle Ray, 1 x Pinkie (27cm), 1 x Gummy
Report: Good night and not many fisherman. When we arrived (just before sunset), dudes to our right landed a good sized snapper (on pillie). Arnold caught the pinkie which took a surprisingly good run about an hour after dark. Gummy was caught at about 10:30pm. Pinkie took pillie bait on paternoster rig, while gummy took the combo (pillie and squid) on the snapper snatcher. The eagle rays took snapper snatchers. Penguin's were walking around the joint, and there were many large rats. Huggett got frustrated, cos he just missed two.
Rating: 8/10 . Would have been a 9 if Huggett laid boot to one.
