Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Sorry story and photos just don’t work...

out at gentleman hours trying avoid slack water and no current, seems winter tides even with the full moon pull, run late but hard through the middle of the ebb, so we looked at heading to the Island but a very slow but deep roll, along side watching the boats ahead of us punching saw me choosing to go with short run down the coast to a carrot patch, with no current and the sun on our backs we kept the burley on board. Keels (my daughter) set to bashing a few cod out on a flat bottom, whilst I enjoyed the pleasure of sorting through the spikey dog population.....so went with a trusted forum member info and tied on shiny stuff , well after feeding 2 dozen beers worth of lures to the local snake population ( I cursed @Shearer again) and returned to bait.

A hint of current and some pellets chucked over ..bang a very fisity carrot , no wait it’s a BRIM , keels cannot believe it and calls foul play, so down with the burley and out with the pilchards ...shark bloody city!

After re rigging and dealing with a dozen or so spikes I admit defeat, went to the northern entrance sandy and shallow ...more bloody small cod! Moved again to the old scallop bed round down , gutted fish and had lunch..keels set to slaying a handful of carrots ...bless her!

She didn’t crow about it much at all.

Home to catch the tide and clean the boat and fish in the sun and warmth. Every trip is a learning ..( don’t buy $20 lures ). Looked around for flounder dragging spots at the low , honestly not as many as I thought but crew keen for a summer bash!

Interestingly no Ray's or mullet at the wharf ..dropped frames waited and waited no one home ..got fuel at the shop ..good brim being caught in the bay before the last weather pattern ..nice you hear , cod and sharks full of squat lobster , carrots in the sand all stuffed full of small paddle crabs
