big blow brings fish out on bay

[big_steve001]

well fellow ausfishers its been about 2 months since there has been a window for fishing and with a failed 1770 trip was pretty keen to get a feed. headed out this morning about 4am with the old man and a mate and was greeted with light winds, so the choice was made to fish a few reefs just north of harries. the fish were biting all mornin with a few big unstoppables and a few sharked, but we still managed 6 nice squire and a couple of whiting. smallest was 37 and biggest going 45cm. i hope a few more benefited from this nice weather. steve

nice feed mate, I fished Peel. Started to head towards Harrys and look for some surface action but gave it a miss, there was a stack of boats and the wind was getting up

I hit Peel from 5:30am. SW Rocks was very active and some great hits, then as the boats rolled in I moved out to the Myora light, then back to Lazarets and back at the ramp around 11:30am. Nothing to show for it but several large runs and a few bust-offs.


Did you get caught at the ramp Cap't? Took me ages to get in due to people jumping in front and consideration a little lacking. Then my boat kept getting pushed by the current and had 3 goes to get it on the trailer. The best thing, I was on the water - 2nd time in 5 months!!!

Nah Chris, I pulled the boat out at about 8am.
I managed a few fish before the light horse brigade marched in, gave up about 6 and chased some birds near Naval Reserve. Got a nice Snap for dinner though

hi guys - I hit Peel at 4am yesterday and only managed a good Bream and a Perch for the dinner table. which ramp did you guys return? I came back through Raby Bay and it was pretty busy but not too much of a wait.

cheers to the bloke who ran over and helped me guide the boat on and hooked my winch up for me when retrieving (i was on my own). we hear a lot about inconsiderate people but not enough about good blokes helping others at the ramp.

big_steve,

nice catch - good to see a couple of reports of squire coming in - it has been pretty quiet on that front recently. Even better that they were on for the whole trip - well done sounds like a great trip - who said you can't catch fish in the bay nowadays.

mik01 - well done for giving the guy who helped you a wrap - I agree that you always here plenty of people whinging about others at the boat ramps - I know I have done it too but there are also plenty of people happy and willing to help - even if sometimes it isn't appreciated.

Cheers and heres to some more good weather
