Kyle & I hit Peel at first light yesterday on a day full of surprises. The first surprise was the Wello Point boat ramp. Only four trailers (including us) parked there on a Saturday morning during school hols and on a day with a good forecast!
Got to Peel dropped our plastics at a favourite mark and got surprise number two - bait and fish everywhere! Kyle gets smashed and he has a huge fight before the line goes slack. He pulls in the remaining half of what would have been a legal snapper! Bloody sharks...they got our fish and lures two more times.
After a regular flow of undersize snaps come aboard we decided to head to Bird Island on the high tide for some breamin. There is a heap of surface action around the rocks but the water is less than 50cm deep! I throw a small hardbody and immediately hook up to a small bream. Kyle decides to try a surface lure and after 20 or so boils and strikes, he hooks up to his first long tom.
As the tide dropped we targetted duskies on the sand banks. I managed two and lost one on bream lures. Kyle stuck with his surface lure and managed surprise number three - a 50cm dusky on a surface lure in less than 10cm of water!
All up we managed 20+ small snaps, three duskies, one bream, a grinner and a long tom - all on lures/plastics and all released.. Great fun on a Saturday morning!
Biggest surprise was when we got back to the Wello Point ramp at 11.30am - still very few trailers there and no delays at the ramp.
A top day!
