Kat , Good luck tomorrow, make sure you take the Bushman”s if your fishing early or late , the sandflies were on the bite.
Doughnuts , yes they were a bit tentative, just not many where I was fishing.
Greg , the photo issue isnt rectified, I tried , but it didn’t work.

Dug some wriggler worms on Tuesday afternoon , it was hot , and unfortunately for me ,the beach was covered in 6 inches of weed where I wanted to dig ,forcing me to rake it off in order to get at the worms. Ended up getting enough worms in about half an hour for a quick fish .
Headed down to the Pin on Thursday morning and fished the run up King Tide .
The fish were there but not in numbers I like ,but the quality of the whiting was excellent so I wasn’t complaining .Also scored a lone Grunter which was a disappointment as I thought it was going to be a huge whiting . I tried to post a couple of photos in the usual way , but they still don’t load .
Regards

Took my brother for an exploratory Mackerel fish this morning .
I usually don’t bother chasing them till after the Christmas holidays and the crowds die down, but with the new closures and bag limits in full force , We decided to make the most of the current situation whilst there was a decent weather window. Heaps of boats on the water for a mid week day ,tides and moon were all wrong but beggars cannt be choosers.My brother is still recovering from a recent operation , and wasn’t allowed to lift more than 3 kgs , so he was on driving duty for the morning and I was on the business end of the rods .He could not find any bait , only big schools of Batfish and Surgeon fish , feeding on the surface . We had plenty of old marks ,so just trolled over them looking for the odd fish.
Missed the first hit after a very solid hookup - due to a bite off , I think another fish simply just sniped the swivel off - “Big time Bummer “- anyway we continued on and moved well away from the flotilla of boats , once we found some clear space ,it was then bang bang , two Spanish in the esky and off we went home , both freezers now stocked with some nice Spanish Fillets and some crab bait sorted for the next crab'n mission.
regards

Yes - worth it.
Nice Thready.Have you done anything with your fishing log data.?
You should graph out number of Threadfin vs Month and then number of threadfin vs stage of tide , and number of threadfin vs location . That might help you zero in on them .regards

Yes there was a blue water Barra in Conn Creek , I’m pretty sure cyclone Yasi had her way with that enterprise though .I was there quite a few years after she hit the area and there was still areas of twisted decimated mangroves pushed over in that creek.
