Headed out Sat lunch to a mixed up bay with 15+ s/westers
Worked some Tuskies spots with crabs which yielded 2 x 2kg and dropped a nice grass tuskies at the boat.
Then moved to the bank drop offs and drifted with a mixed of baits/lures and plastics
for flathead/squire/cod and morwong which was released.
Then the mack tuna moved in around the boat, but threw everything but the outboard at them for nil results, their was bait fish going off everywhere but all mack tuna chasing them.
Meet up with Crestcutter/Longtail and Skippa, who headed off in different directions to do their thing.
Bumped into them again at dusk around Myora, but when the gale force s/westers came in, they headed towards Peel and we took shelter up in Myora.
Moved out on the high around midnite and scored a couple more squire, then anchored till 5am.
Tried lifting the anchor, but stuck fast, gunned the motor till the bow vertuially went under, and with two of us lifting pull my anchor up to find this huge chain caught up, tied it off to the bow and pulled my anchor apart to untangle, then dropped the chain still attached to something below back to the depths.
Went north towards Amity, looking for some surface action, but dead quiet, also bumped into Rakinray heading to the Group.
Trolled for awhile but still naught so headed home.
Thanks to Matthill for introducing me to these Jackals, only brought one at 25 a pop, but it scored more fish in one session then my limited attached with plastics, all released except for 1 squire/lizard and cod.
But i also came home minus the Prize Jackal, had this nice Gold spot again next to the boat, but being impaitent tried lifting onboard by the leader, resulting in one Gold Spot + Jackal still in mouth swimming back to the depths, those trebles on the rear certainly do the damage, where as a lot of plastics lose the tail when hit and no hookup.
Will certainly be investing in a couple this time.
regards
If your wondering why i cut short my talk with Nugget, my deckie put my boat onto the weed beds, then reversed out to wrapped two lines around the prop :-[
Colin and our Lizard haul.
