Dull Day but brighter finish

Arriving at the slipway at first light this morning the conditions did not look good with a 3-4 easterly wind and a fairly heavy swell. Derek decided to go as the wind was forecast to drop.


It was too choppy to fish standing up but Derek soon had a fish at PS around the 3lb mark on a slider, but it was very difficult. Moving onto another reef I placed my Patchinko in almost against the rocks when it was immediately hit by a fish of around 4lbs.

Fish became scarce and I took one fish on a sakura magic eel. Having been out since 7am and only 3 fish in the bag in 4.5 hours it was pretty depressing.

We moved into shallow water the IOB where we knew fish will often turn up just after low tide. I switched to a white z claw which I had got from Micks. For some reason it was difficult to use staying just under the water, perhaps had not rigged it right.

We could see some fish on the surface as conditions had improved. I was immediately into a fish around the 3lb mark

We took a total of 17 fish in this area bringing our total to 20 fish for the morning out.This brightened the day up
