Good day at the Pine

[Shawn 66]

G'Day All ,
This report is a bit late , but it is thew first chance I have had. Got on the water on Sunday at about 4am . Headed to my ususal spot to get some live herring and hopefully some poddies . Fisrt cast of the net brought forth a dozen prawns . Um , thought I , this might turn out alright . Half an hour later left for my usual fishing spot with about a kilo of live prawns and a couple of dozen herring . Set up for a drift as the sun was making an appearence . After about , 30 minutes had the first one of the day in the livewell , a 43cm flattie . Kept on the same drift line for the next couple of hours , and managed another two keeper flatties , one at 52 and another one in the 40's . Changed the drift a bit , and then saw the rod with the herring get a decent bend . 5 minutes later in came a 62cm flattie . After that one hit the livewell , something grabbed another herring and took off . Did not have a chance to turn this bugger , zing goes the line , and there goes my terminal tackle . For the first time in ages I managed to upgrade the flatties . Final score for the day was .
6 Legal Flatties . ( Of course 1 was sent packing)
1 50cm Jewie . ( Released to grow up )
1 keeper Bream , and
1 keeper Whiting .
All were caught on either live prawns , live herring or squidgee's.
All in all a beautiful day on the water .
To top it off , the Boss and my best 4 legged mate , came out near lunch time for a picnic and a swim .
P.S Please excuse the long winded report .

Hi Shawn, loved the report, feel welcome to be "long winded" and to wax lyrical anytime you like.

Happy to hear that you landed some on the plastics too...come to the dark side mate

Don't know if you are planning to be out there tomorrow but we will be hitting the spot before first light because we have to head home by 8am. Hope to see you there.
