Fisherman: Davistiano, Steven, Peggy Ng and Eugene Leung
Location: Second Valley Jetty and Rock fishing area
Time: 4/12/2010, from 12:30pm to 6:00pm
Condition:
Weather – sunny
Temperature – 35 degree C
Tide – Rising tide
Wind – N/A
Observation:
Very nice weather that it was very warm and not much wind.
Surprisingly there is not as many people as we have expected.
An aussie young man caught 2 squids from the jetty,
however in general it is very quiet,
nothing else was caught on the jetty by any people.
Steven has done some snorkeling at the south side of the jetty,
and reported that the water is not very clear but
saw many big fish with a good underwater structure.
No more annoying diving from the jetty as it is prohibited now.
Action:
Quite active indeed, and a couple of big fight for Steven and Dave.
Peggy and Eugene used light surfing gear, which isn’t quite effective as the water flow was towards the shore, causing the hook constantly caught on rock or any other obstacles.
On the other hand, ISO fishing has been effective whole day long.
Dave has caught a Sweep, Leather Jacket, Aussie Salmon, Zebra,
Puffer Fish and Rock Cod, whereas Steven managed to catch 2 good size Bonito,
a couple of small fish which includes Aussie Salmon and Rock Cod and lost 2 big fights
– one of them was super large size creature, observed by Dave and Peggy from upper area of the rock when they were resting, and saw a massive white/silver shape that was so close to leave the water.
When Dave saw Steven hooked onto it, he already started moving to get the net, however it was still too late.
It probably was a drummer or zebra which can easily be over 38cm.
Style:
Light surf and ISO
Catch & Release:

~24cm Sweep by Dave
~24cm Zebra fish by Dave
~26cm rock cod by Dave
