40's yesterday (Friday)
Fished the 40's for little result, water was brilliantly clear and 22c but no bird activity whatsoever, got a great breaksea but had a day where anything large was dropped, they seemed really picky and all hookups were light.
Dropped a large fish, called for a dhuie hooked using a small western king wrasse with the fillets reverse cut to flap in the current, good fight only to end with the hooks letting go.
Very strong current flowing from the North meant that the drift was almost due south despite the easterly, and what the hell was the bright orange jelly like material (you couldn't see it in the water but it deposited itself on the top eye of the rod on every retrieve seemingly collected on the rougher surface of the braid ,, coral spawn perhaps?

I think they were salps...
I think they were salps... You could see them on the current down a couple of metres, they were certainly a few around.

We fished the 40 s yesterday
We fished the 40 s yesterday out from Mandurah and had that same orange stuff. We had a good day on the Dhus kept two 6kg models will do a report Monday. Got sharked twice though, one on a sambo and one on a nice Dhu, hope it's not going the way of up north. Bloody sad watching a Dhu head float off.
