bays fishin ok

cheers for the report roscoe. hey mate, i have a stupid question to ask when you are using the gulp worms. I have used them a couple of times with varying success. How do you find the hook ups on them because they are quite long and i often get fish pulling them off the hook or biting anywhere but the hook. Do you cut them into shorter pieces as you would with bait or do you rig the whole worm.

Rosco does the same as me i think, cut the worm into 4 pieces, i thread mine on the hook, making sure the tip of the hook is clear a bit so you get a better hookup rate
i dont use my gps, might have to start using it again so when i get a good feed, i can return to the same spot next time
last time i bagged out i used crab pots in the water to get marks from where the fish were, last tues, i only got 24 as didnt get back onto the right spot, no pots out, though having said that the fish do move around

took the missus for a ting fish this mornin.left manly around 6 in a slight breeze..the water color was coffee but i expected that headed between green and wello all good no debri in the water still coffee colored water got over the the banks and the water was pretty good but still had a bit of fresh in it...got up to the rous and the water there was reasonably good..we had the usual bait gulp red worms and a couple of squid..we fished for a few hrs but got a good feed in the end of 70 odd tings..not as big as a few weeks ago but most around the 23cm and prob a dozen going 27cm so still a good size for diver tings....over the rous there where a few bait balls boiling the surface ...seen heaps of turtles,dolfins and dugongs so the bay seems to be doing ok...seen a few branches in the water on the way home but nothing more than that .was a great day on the water glassed out conditions

cheers rosco

Good to here you got out mate thanks for the report. Buy the sounds of it from yours and other reports its not as bad out there as I thought it would be.

I hope to get out some time this week but as people are saying ill take it steady.

Be careful, guys!

What's the hurry to get out on the bay?

You could be playing Russian Roulette to be out there for a while ... http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/quee...127-1a5q6.html
