Month: November 2010

Fun Fun Fun gathering night

28/11 night, PeterParker, Davistiano and GSeal have gathered at a common friend house with all other brothers and sisters from church, and had a fantastic night! 🙂

Thanks to all of you that have cooked the fantastic meal 😀
(unfortunately I have forgotten to take picture as we were so hungry and the food was too awesome!)

Also, seems like whenever I go, that place will turn into an arcade gaming centre.

As one of our friend Angus has bought GT5,
therefore I have brought my Logitech MOMO racing wheel,
alongside with my other friend’s Logitech G27 wheel to his place. 😛

Everyone enjoyed so much! 😀

After the fantastic dinner, we have tuned into “Band Hero/Guitar Hero” channel, and had few more great hours at night! 🙂

WestLakes fishing report

Fisherman: Dave & Eugene Leung

Location: Westlakes

Time: 27/11/2010, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm

Condition:
Weather – sunny/cloudy/shower
Temperature – 20 degree C
Tide – Rising tide
Wind – 20 knots S wind

Observation:
Weather constantly changes with strong wind, causing observation becomes more difficult.
It started to pour at around 6:00pm, it was so bad that Eugene has to rest under a tree while Dave still working hard fighting with the weather!
A teenager nearby managed to catch a squid, approximately about 20-25cm.

Action:
Not as active as we have expected, especially for this time of the day.
When Dave showed Eugene about the basic technique, there were a few quick and significant bite, however it has quiet-ed down dramatically since then.
Most bites were drawn in the depth around 3 ft (super shallow).
The wind is so strong that the float cannot stand uptill in the water, however it still manage to provide signal – although there weren’t many in fact.

Style:
Light surf and float (centrepin)

Catch & Release:
~15cm bream by Dave
~23cm KG whiting by Eugene

Osamu’s factory lure/jighead

Interesting bream lure from japan

These lures are available in 3, 5 & 7 grams and different color, which may be quite heavy for traditional bream fishing in Australia.

However, it can reach the area that other lure can’t reach aspecially landbase.

I had tested them about 3 months ago in westlake at night, which yielded me one fish.

Anyway, it needs to be further tested in order to give a better report.

How to use: simply attach a soft plastic worm on the hook and treat it as a normal jighead

St Kilda fishing report

Fisherman: Dave, Pete & Eric Choi

Location: At the end of St Kilda breakwater

Time: 22/11/2010, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm

Condition:
Weather – sunny
Temperature – 35 degree C
Tide – Rising tide
Wind – 5 knots WSW wind

Observation:
A lot of bait fish was spotted on both sides of the breakwater, they got chased up/attacked occasionally by something unknown which maybe aussie salmon or snook.
Some mullets up to 1 foot long were lurking in the shallow.
Plenty of flies!!!

Action:
Very quiet!!! there was no bite for fly fishing even if surface action had been seen.
Dave’s float fishing gear couldn’t reach the deeper holes so it is not productive.
Light surf fishing seemed to be the most effective this time, Eric had fish bites quite often but only managed to hook on one bream.

Style:
Fly, light surf and float (centrepin)

Catch & Release: one ~22cm bream by Eric Choi
