Fished: 8.45 a.m. 'til 15.30 p.m. Three men in a boat.
High Water: 13.52 p.m
Bait: Frozen party squid, James S-H frozen peeler.
Weather: Mist early on. Wind light. Variable north then west.
Sea: Slight, coloured close in
Weed: Bulk red weed close in at midday.Boarderline unfishable. None further out.
Catch: 16 Smoothhound to 6lb 9oz, 1 mackerel.
We went out with an idea to fish latex on the drift for bass but there was still a lot of colour after this weeks wind. Set the anchor and we had some starry and commons in the boat straight away to about 5 and a half pounds. They were coming in pretty fast on both peeler and squid. After and hour and half we had a bit of a lull and drifted around several different marks to no avail. Tried a few casts upside the reefs and drew a blank with bottom baits. Best smoothie to Ian at 6lb 9oz (weighed) after a stonking take and scrap. Caught hounds at three different marks so they are pretty well all over inside a mile or so out.
Three mates were out in the other boat and did pretty well. They tried a few different places including a couple of local wrecks.
