Good luck mate, btw did u ever own a starlet? your display pic looks really familiar

[Ash]

"btw did u ever own a starlet?"

LOL, i dont even know what a starlet is!

Sorry!

Yeah itll be good Kriso, I havent fished salt in a very long time. I might bring the mini stove top for some hot coffee though, been bloody cold!

[kriso]

hahaha ya skirt! i dont drink hot drinks mate so dont bring any for me.

[Ash]

lol, in that case, if its just me it'll be Green Tea. And its too cold for a skirt, so maybe a grannie blanket?

Any particular lures being doing the work lately?

Ive got some Slam baits i might give a go.

[kriso]

[Ash]

True true. Ill also be bringing some stincky pillies etc too. Do you know where abouts in our area we can get bait?

[kriso]

[kriso]

weathers looking pretty sweet so far for sunday morn , under 10knots all morning run in tide from 4 am. anyone else going to come out for a fish, were probably launching from fisho's and pulling up stumps round 9am unless fish a biting pretty hard.

[51MPL]

[noname]

[Eug]

i'll be launching from fishos on sunday as well, got the same game plan as kriso.

[webbfunk]

I'll probably be doing the same, leaving from fisho's just after light. Might have a deckie spot available if anyone's interested.

[robtarr]

I'll be down there in the yak or happy to join you if the deckie spot's still vacant

cheers Rob

saw plenty of boats fishing the mouth and heading out to the bay early Sunday - I couldn't raise a touch on SP's. How'd the rest of you go?

[kriso]

was a slow morning mate, hit the rockwall out the front and was onto a squire on a pillie straight up, then a pike on damiki vault, then nothing happening so tried the bp pumping station, pulled a 20cmish bream from there on a vault it went dead so headed into boggy before we had to leave and got a small whiting from there on the vault as well, so pretty slow but still good fun to get out there, was happy i got my first whitting and bream on HB so that was cool. saw plenty people flicking but not many people pulling in fish. also bumped into sweresy from the site at the ramp who also said he had a slow one too.

[Eug]

was a slow morning for us as well... also hit the rockwall early and managed to land 5 pike on the plastics, cut one up for strip bait for a mate who's a baito and he managed a handful of big hits but failed to set the hooks. swapped two other rods to pike bait and managed two squire just under. managed a small flounder on plastics before deciding to move.

the bite went off and we casted for some livies and hit up an empty wharf, couldn't get a bit of quiet water with boats constantly anchoring within 10m of us drifting. it's amazing how people think throwing anchor and chain over the side of the boat, then pulling it up rattling the chain over the bow only to throw the anchor 5 minutes later isn't going to scare the fish away.

hit up boggy as a final ditch and only managed one flatty before losing it boatside.

nice day to be out on the water, a little annoying with the amount of boat traffic about and lack of courtesy both on the water and at the ramp.

[robtarr]

good to hear it wasn't only me then - could have been a function of all the boat traffic with the wharves fairly busy as well - any time on the water's good time though

[crazywalrus]

I was out on the Bay on Sunday and the Squire bite was really slow. we had some pillies out for 15 to 20 mins without even a picker. Is it the moon cycle or something?

[robtarr]

some days an area can just shut down - may be more closely linked to barometric pressure

Spent early Sunday morning out at Peel Is.

We pulled in about 15 fish but nothing to write home about.

We had two at 28cm but the rest were between 5cm and 15cm... pretty annoying really.

Last few trips out have been like this, the wife is starting to question my reasons for going out LOL.

[Ash]

yeah it was slow. Good to catch up and head out with Kriso though, ben a while. Unforetunetly I got D'nut, but it was fun to have the whaler out in the salt again. That being said, i forget how much more work salt water fishing is compared to fresh water!

So, next time some of you young hot shots are going out to the wharves, let us know so I learn how to fish!

[Old Scaley]

Fished the drop-offs around the mouth from about 7am to 1pm. 2 on the boat. Caught about 10 squire between 30 - 35cm and one just over 35. Also caught 2 flattie (50cm & 38cm). Missed a couple of big hits on pillies. Probably big cod or maybe jewies because they dropped the bait after a short run with plenty of pressure but no head shakes. So pretty quiet, but I have had a lot quieter.

BTW, does anyone know what time they opened the grassy parking area. There were lots of trailers parked illegally when I got there, but heaps of space on the grass.

[Eug]

saw two cars/trailers parked up near the train tracks when leaving... that's a long walk.

[51MPL]

duno how it works there hey :S luckily there was 1 spot free last time we went cos there was no-where else free

[webbfunk]

I spent 25 mins at the poo pipe for 5 herring for livies.

My mate got a 41cm flattie at the pipeline on a pillie, I got a pike on a Deep Throat. Livies not even touched.

Then headed out to mud cause the water looked so calm, picked up about 12 25 - 35cm squire on pillies. Had a hit on livie but no hook up. That was about it for the day. Did see about 12 dolphins hanging around mud.
