Headed to mud Thursday morning after getting some gps marks of a fellow ausfisher (very nice man), and thought id give it a crack. Bite period was from 5.30-6.30am with only squire coming aboard which i though was wierd (and great). Total of 5 keepers all 40-41cm, still cant seem to catch any bigger than that! Got smoked a couple of times by what felt like a whale taking my plastic, and got bitten off > > >. Guess thats what keeps us going back!! Could not believe the knob on the 41cm squire - this fish was the same size as all the others mind you. Does this mean i have caught a bay snapper , cos it has a knob? All in all a beautiful morning in the bay, little bit lumpy all morning but very workable. PS 3 squiries were released over 35cm for the next person who heads out there
Thats not a knob. Thats a result of being caught in a net at some stage. But you can call it a nobby. Good to see you got a feed. Weather would have been a bit ordinary out there yesterday eh. Bait of placcies and if placcies which ones did the damage.
U got a good feed. I was out there Tuesday and only caught a couple of legals, but I too only caught squire. No grinners and no pike yet there was heaps of bait showing on the sounder.
Im addicted to the squire let me tell ya, this is the first season i have gone after them, dont want them to disappear! When roughly will they start disappearing? Snapattack, all were caught on 4in pumkinseed gulps (worms) and saltwater assassins. The result of being caught in a net hey - interesting very interesting!
They'll be around for while Grassies pull hard too though, so even if they do go quiet, you'll be right.
The SaltWater Assassins have done very well for me too. Although I've found that the colour that works for me in the northern bay, doesn't work as well in the southern... Don't fish in the south half too much though, so would be interesting to see if there is a major difference.
You occasionally get a fish that has very similar injuries. You see it on Bream a bit.
I'd call him a Nobby! Looks like a deformatey . He was the smartest Squire from the school! His head grew quicker then the rest of him and still managed to catch him!
