Yep Rouse again. 

Will take a few options, squid, float pillys, slugs for macs and plastics for reefies. Might even stick in the whiting rod... I need some more rod holders...

Hey Drop Bear

Sounds like you are going to have fun, if the wind is down for a while maybe I could go to the POB area in the yak again (preferably not as my dads windshield ). Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to finish my school work off so I'll be stuck in the house (that's if I was allowed to come). Good luck!

Cheers Hamish

Looks like a good opportunity to get out. Good luck mate.

you are in. See you at the boat ramp.

I need to find a job that allows me to fish mid week. So many times weekday weather is mint before blowing a gale on weekends. Let us know how you go.

Hi Hweebe 

Well, I'm just like you except I need to find a school that lets me fish mid-week  LOL. Hopefully the wind is down over the weekend though.

Interesting. Both BoM and WillyWeather have got great forecasts for the Bay this weekend. Seabreeze must be forecasting for offshore? It is still only Tuesday so things might change by Saturday. That Seabreeze forecast is classic example of what is known as “bosses’ weather”. It used to frustrate the hell out of me when I was still working. 

[ellicat]

Doesn't matter anymore, @Old Scaley. One thing's for sure - it's going to be a bit cooler with a southerly.

Can't be bothered looking but I wonder what Meteye says..

It will be cool @ellicat. When I said BoM I was talking about MetEye and it is looking great.

Hi ellicat

Well that's a shame, 20-25 knot winds... My dad was feeling a bit crook anyways so it might've not been the best weekend (he "went" to the doctor which was a phone call and was told it wasn't COVID-19).

Cheers Hamish  

[ellicat]

Mightn't be too bad. I guess you are close enough to your spot to make a quick decision whether to go in any case.

Best wishes to @Cavvy. I had a phone consult earlier on and they could tell it wasn't a concern somehow.

[Hweebe]

MetEye looks better although tide running in (Saturday AM)

[Hweebe]

How did you go @Drop Bear?
 

I spoke too soon wind is picking up for Sat

 

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Hey Drop Bear

Like Hweebe asked, I am curious to how you went? (If you still went out). 

Hopefully it was a good session like the last one with Old Scaley  

Cheers Hamish  

[Old Scaley]

It was a great day out as usual. A good feed of cuttlefish and squid. The mackerel were on again and we left them biting once we boated 10. They were all mid 60s and above. The biggest was 72cm. @Drop Bear has the photos.

[ellicat]

Good to see you cleaning up, Steve.

Hey Old Scaley

You are making me drool with envy!  I love calamari, so that would've made for a nice feed. Sounds like you had good fun with the mackerel as well. Were they Grey Macks or Schoolies? (Or another species)?

 Cheers Hamish  

[Hweebe]

@Old Scaley good effort bagging out on the macs. “A great day as usual” . I only hope to get one of your days out in the bay 

[GregOug]

I think I need to con Old Scaley and DropBear into coming out fishing with me one day

[Drop Bear]

[Drop Bear]

[Drop Bear]

Cracking day out. @Old Scaley cleaned me up and caught most of the fish. I got a few and a good share of the cuttlefish. So delicious. 

It was bumpy on the way out but perfect trip home. 

I hope to get out there again next week to see if they are still hanging around.

Don’t be fooled @Hweebe, I get more than my fair share of donuts, but every day you can get out on the water is another great day, especially when you you can share it with a mate. Plus, we got to see turtles and a dugong came to visit, so really the fish and cuttlefish are just a bonus. 

[Andrew_P]

That is a quality filleting table shot! Great going guys I bet they will taste as good as it was catching them

[aussie123]

I cannot see the pictures. 

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Hey Drop Bear and Old Scaley

Sounds like an awesome day you had out, the dugongs and turtles would've been amazing. 

One slight problem. ellicat, I don't know if you've seen this before but is anyone else getting this when they try to view the pictures Drop Bear posted - 

aussie123, is this the issue you're having?

Cheers Hamish 

[rayke1938]

Cheers

Ray 

[ellicat]

Yeah, I can't see the pics either and just get what Hamish sees also. What type of file are they @Drop Bear ?

[rayke1938]

no photo did not happen

[Old Scaley]

Photos come up fine on iPad and iPhone. See if they work when I add them.

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Hey Old Scaley

I can see them now, that is a great haul you had there. They must've been very tasty.  

Cheers Hamish

[rayke1938]

thanks cheers ray

[Drop Bear]

Sorry I just copied and pasted them from google photos. I will download them and upload next time. 

@Old Scaleythanks for fixing that.
