4 Beacons

[tailorboi99]

Ok headed out to the four beacons with my neighbours this morning, the bay was glassy smooth yet there were no fish? For bait we used pillies and squid, had a few good runs on the heavier gear but no hook ups we were assuming a Dolphin because there were about 30 all grouped together. The question is where does the bait hold there as we only got 1 Slimy mackeral then a few grinners. We were chasing Cobia or even a mackeral if one comes through. Where is a few other spots to try for Cobia and mackeral

Tom,

Oh and I caught a Remora, are these frequently caught. Was caught at Mud

Very unlikely it was a dolphin, they are way to intelligent, and they have very good eye sight.

Thanks Marty, we thought a Dolphin as they popped up right near it as soon as we lost them.

I was out there too Tailoboi99. I fished the Woody Point reefs early for a couple of legal squire (and about 10 undersize ones) and then ran across past Mud to the sandhills, then up to the 4 beacons looking for some pelagics. Conditions were perfect but there wasn't a fish or a bird to be seen. Shame really for such a great day!

Definitely a dolphin, thanks to tangalooma 'wild' dolphin resort the dolphins think that any food that comes from a human is for them, we have even had them take mackerel off of our hooks.
Btw bad luck on the poor day, we bagged out on spotties today

PS. In general I have always found that dolphins mean the fish are too scared to move.

[tailorboi99]

Ahah thanks Pretzil, where'd you get those?

[uglyfish]
