Late start due to rain and family sleeping in.
Arrived Donnybrook at 0900 with dodgy servo bait( plan was to pump yabbies but tide doesn't wait for slack asses).
Ran a string of 12 pots along a bank in 5-8m. Let soak for 2.5 hours and did some fishing while we waited. Didn't hold out much hope with the dodgy bait but ended up with a flatty and two small to medium shovel nose rays. Good fun fight. A mate told me they were all right to eat so we kept them.
Picked the pots up and got 4 XL sized sandcrabs and a handful of just unders that went back for next time. Interestingly there was only one Jenny.
The rays were easy to fillet but a bit difficult to skin. They were ok to eat but the flesh was a bit soft. Crumbed and shallow fried.
Very little weed and the ramps were only about half full despite a beautiful day

We fished the Donnybrook region yesterday and got rained on early but it cleared, we ended up with a 59 and 55 cm flathead, 34 cm bream and a 59cm jackass murwong and a big golden trevally, my wife caught everything bar the trevally just drifting slightly bouncing whitebait set up on a little 3 hook rig, the flathead just didn't go for the plastics yesterday.
