Palm Beach Jetty

I took the ewok to palm beach jetty tonight to try get some more hezzas or some scalies if they were about.
conditions were perfect for boating so of course every attempt i made to get out was shot down by various parties. It was just one of those days. having dads backcrusher in rocko, yet not being able to get my hands on it was absolute torture.

The fish were skittish and although they responded well to burley and bubbled up nicely they were reluctant to eat anything. We ended up with 6 herring and 6 scalies. a couple of yakkas were caught as well but they went back as they werent what we were after.
it didnt help matters that there was a family of idiots a few metres away who turned up and decided they were going to catch fish by burleying up with some pollard and smashing a net on a scaffold pole through the school. after about 20 attempts with no fish you would think they would give up. no. stupid, stupid dipshits.

i usually take a slightly heavier outfit down there just in case but due to the lack of wind and a couple of other fishers it had sat in the jetty as a buffer rather than being used. when a slight breeze came from the west i put a balloon out with a live scalie to see if a salmon or something came along. I was hoping that this was the reason the bait fish were a bit more reluctant than usual.
after a bit i started to wind it in to check it and it was buzzed right by the jetty by a large salmon of 5kg+ easily. the salmon came back for another pass and lipped the bait. i was feeding and watching the salmon swallow the bait when the jobless, toothless, brainless F**ks about 3 metres away (hence referred to as the dickheads) decided to have another massive smashing scoop session with their net on their 3m scaffolding pole and of course the salmon spooked and spat the bait. i was pissed. very, very pissed. i really wanted squirt to get onto a salmon and have some fun with a hard pulling fish that would give him some trouble. but there was no chance with those twats near by.
the dickheads saw what had happened and with a shout of 'did ya F**kin see that c@nt of a shark!' and so on they began to cast out live baits on their busted rods and $5 reels. of course when a salmon cruised on past again he lipped the dickheads bait and swam away. dickhead hooted and yollered and pulled the bait straight out of the salmons mouth..... about 5 times. i said to him 'calm down mate, let him eat it, open your bail and feed him some line, he'll take it, relax a bit.'
'oh F**k yeah sweet as c@nt cheers......'
he of course then hooked up and the dickhead had a loaded up line and a screaming reel. Dickhead #2 yelled out 'your F**king losing it ya c@nt!' and proceeded to grab the line and start muscling in the fish hand over hand. green salmon, shit line, no idea, bust off......
'your shit c@nt. youre F**ked. my F**king hook busted. F**king hell. call mum to bring my F**king big rod down or ill smash the c@nt..." <--- he actually did say that on the phone. sigh.
at this point with my 5 year old son next to me i politely asked the family dickhead to cease their constant offensive language. I REALLY wanted to push the twats in but that just wouldnt have looked good in front of the little man. They apologised with an "ow F**k sorry man. F**k yeah no worries. OY c@nts shut the F**k up.."
admittedly they did calm down a bit, but the mood was broken. the relaxed chatty atmosphere you usually get on the jetty with the locals was gone. smashed.

we left a little later.

you know, i dont begrudge anyone spending time down the jetty, fishing on a tight budget, trying to catch a feed, have family time or just have some fun. but when you come down and take over the whole jetty by being loud and offensive with no thought or care about any other users of that facility then you sir/madam are a total F**ktard and should be banned from stealing oxygen. how the F**k these dickheads were the fastest sperm i just can not fathom.


end rant/report.
apologies for the language in the post. believe me its not even half of what it was really like. i just cant paint the proper picture.

The worst part is because they are fishing they get labeled fishing dickheads, when they are just dickheads. it wouldn't matter what they are doing.

Shame about the Salmon.
Some more beach Pinks will make up for it.
