Peel 16.07.08

[Leighton]

Headed out again this afternoon is absolute glass.
Headed to my usual stomping ground, same weapons of choice.
5" Zooms and 5" Camo Gulps, 10lbs leader
It was a little quiet until about 4pm when I finally located some decent bait shows on the sounder. I have included a pic of what I actively seek out this time of year. The sounder pic is of Tailor feeding on the bait Schools, the place is thick with Choppers this time of year.
I have found is you cast in behind the Tailor there is usually plenty of Snaps in all sizes picking up the crumbs. Didnt land any big fish but came home with a few Tailor and 3 Snaps all over the 40cm Mark. Even picked up a very greedy Flounder that Smacked a 5" Camo the whole way down

G'day Leighton

It's been a good week for you mate. Two sessions and decent fish both times.

That sounder pic adds a new dimension to the report. Colour is sure the way to go. I think I'll be upgrading soon.

Cheers
Brad

Another good session. Well done mate, did you lose much gear to the choppers?

The little bastards are everywhere at the moment, we headed out for a quick sess this morning and lost a lot of gear to them but we did manage a 64cm snap.

[Leighton]

a heap mate, clean bite off and plenty of lost tails
If you cast amongst them let the lure settle and slow the hops down, they dont seem as interested in the slower plastic
I am regretting not cutting a slab off and having a crack for Jew

[Rufus]

Hey Leighton, great post. Yes there are some good fish in the bay, enought to keep us all interested. I have never fished Peel, do you fish the northern end or down the south end ? Were there many squid about?

Cheers, Mark

Makes sense, will try that, it always seemed to be on the way up (quick retrieve back to the boat) now i think about it.

Theres always a good chance of a big lazy jew under those feeding schools of chopper. i just cant be bothered changing rigs.::):P
