yakkas not hard to get at shag rock... I still want to find out where to get slimies. everything seems to go nuts for them. Good to see you didn't need them though. nice catch.
Decided yesterday that today's forecast looked pretty good for a trip offshore. Didn't end up finishing work till 6pm and needed to get food and the boat sorted. Lucky I've been out a bit lately so packing the boat with all the gear is down pat.
Got up this morning to meet my trusty deckie outside my house at 3am. Nearly 2 hours later we had driven to the ramp and pushed our way out to the wave ride buoy. First cast with a soft plastic my mate gets a nice 110cm dolly. After a fair fight we tried a few more drifts with plastics for zip. A few more drifts with different set ups including micro jigs, and different coloured plastics things weren't looking as good as the first cast.
As I don't have a spot to gather livies in that area we were forced to use the mullet we had on board. This proved to do the trick and we started to catch a few more but they were much smaller around the 60cm to 80cm mark.
It was pretty rough out there and I was over feeling a bit crook (unusual) so we headed back in and had a swim at peel for a couple of hours.
It was nice to have a plan come together, and get home relatively early compared to usual.
Does anyone have a common live bait ground between southern amity channel and the wave rider buoy???
Tight lines all...

Thanks phantom, might spend a bit more time up that way and have a look around. Mostly fished North of the bar previously.
