Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

What an awesome morning on the water at a leisurely start of 9 a.m. cruising across the bay we came across boil ups acres and acres of kahawai!.



It was just me and the boy on this trip and he soon got into them,we landed 7 before thinking that's enough and off to another spot to try for something different.
We had heaps of current and heaps of Burly but just nothing was biteing and the sun was punishing so we headed in closer to the coast for a dive.

Not much happening in there either but I shot a couple of nice blue cod.

Up and off to check another spot.

Down on a weed bed I could see from the surface....no fish about but a nice surprise of beds of greenlip mussels.. all pretty small but maybe in another year or two.
Round to spot 3....a few known rocks.

Breath up....dive and have a look....work my way round the group of rocks and look into some caves underneath.
Viz on the surface isn't great but it's crystal on the bottom.
Don't see anything so swim out to another rock....it's a bit deeper and a long shallow cave under it.
I do a number of dives and basically just have a look and back up each time but I'm getting more comfortable.
Have worked my way round the rock almost back to were I started and bugger me here is a cray......and I recon I have a fair chance of grabbing it on a new breath.
Yell out to the boy... I've seen a cray!
Breathe up ...dive.... Fuck it's not there anymore.....or am I in a different spot?
Couple more dives but didn't see it again.
Back into the shallower rock and now I can get some bottom time.....like 10-15 seconds
Spot a cray.....it's in a little cave in a jumble of rocks.
Couple of dives to sus out where I might be able to get at it.
Decide on a hole in the rocks about the size of my head....I can see feelers and horns and stuff my arm in blind and got my hand on it but it was off!
So stoked!

Into shore. A couple of groups of people having a drag for flounder.





What an awesome day.
