Left sat am with mate at 4am to try the southern end of bay and see if and snapper like some of my new plastics i got but like every other time i fish after rain (nothing) at all and at the house boat some dude pulled up in a small tinny and anchored right on top of it as we were drifting and you guessed it i snagged on his anchor ropeand he lost his anchor when he left there
so theres a lesson in that for bait boys who want to hog a good spot at dawn when most are drifting over it. We got to northern end of peel after sun up and mate saw something jump and not long after his large drop bear plastic got smashed
and drag was screaming away at a good pace on east end of lazarets gutter. I saw a large school of tailor there last week so casted and trolled hard bodies for an hour or so but after 2 hits and nothing then birds and water were silent
so off home to wash boat as it bled on everything at 82cm it had some strength to it thrashing until i could grab it then bleeding it into a bucket.
Mate (i call him lucky) said it tasted great as he cooked it up minutes from home
. At least some one got a good feed on my boat it just hasnt been my time this year
PS look at the size of the mussel we pulled up west of peel.it was about 4 inces and fat.
