18th - Was an evening session down the mouth of the marina. Live herring were sent out and I fished with dead squid a bit which a small cod was caught. Live baits weren't touched. Big run in, dropping sun, thought at the very least something would register. O well, keep trying.
22nd - Aftenoon lure session down in the ross creek. Flicked the small rediey's and golden bomber around. Started off behind the old railways on the abandoned bridge they have there. Walked across it and was a 60cm low. Figured fish the low for some reason, warmer water around in the shallows etc, small barra might be moving about. There was oodles of mullet varying in size everywhere hanging a small rocky bar underneath. Flicked round there - nada. Saw a prosectuers will be fined 1000 bucks being on the bridge. Quickly headed towards victoria bridge and the snag that hangs off it near the metro apartments. Again lots of mullet around, tide ripping in now and thought at least there is bait in the water, only positive. No hits after numerous flicks over the snag and around it. A few of the 'locals' has appeared behind me and sat strategically at the steps (from where I descened from street level to the mud/sand at the bottom. A few verbal taunts from them and I continued fishing.........2 more brothers rocked up, now a 4 on 1 situation and felt strangely uncomfortable. Bailed up the rocks and got out of there.
Anyway thats the report on me break. Nothing much, but at least i got out and caught some good old NQ sunshine
