Nice morning on bay

[alleycat]

Went for a run this morning and it was picture perfect on the bay, you could feel the change of seasons with a southwest wind blowing around 5 knots, anyway the bay was alive with tuna, everywhere you looked the bay was exploding with tuna smashing baitfish, i got to one of my spots in the dark so i slipped on a 4 inch swimming mullet gulp in white and got belted by a 37cm squire first cast, second cast i latched onto a real brute who fought dirty, after taking a fair bit of line he doubled back on me and swam at boat ( to ram me maybe lol) and although i reeled like hell he wrapped my braid around some structure and when i felt his weight again it snapped and he was gone, anyway i landed around 8 more good squire and kept 2 to eat with biggest at 48cm and had a visit from water police to finish the day, oh and im finding for shallower water the swimming gulp 4 inch mullet mated with lighter heads is better for avoiding snaggs than the minnows.

(to the young fella i met at the ramp last week from capalaba !! give us a message and we will have a throw one morning)

Looks like the weather was nice this morning. Why do you think that the mullet is snagging less than the minnow? :-/

[alleycat]

The minnow i use ( atomic 3 inch) drops very quick as opposed to the swimming mullet whose tail flutters IE slower drop.

Beautiful morning , I was out there to. Mate it seems your having the same learning experience i'm having . I'm using the finesse jigs as well because of the quality and size of hooks to the light weights. Using the swimming mullet as well but i haven't used the white

Hi chief, the finnesse heads are way cheaper as well and yup plenty strong, im using the white while its still dark and when the lights better im switching to the green or pumkinseed and at times still use the atomic minnow.

Sure it is best weather of this week and you had a good chance to score squire...
