another few days of metro fishing.
Submitted by Chris fish on Thu, 2013-10-31 12:35
been busy out and about all over metro the last few days with the nice weather.
sunday night hit a new spot SOR with a few mates and we landed 4 little dusky whalers on balloons and 20lb gear and droped a 5th.
monday morning did a solo shore dive north of two rocks for a bag full of crays in an hour then got a couple of swan river flatties with a mate all on lures with the best being about 42-45cm.
wednesday out in the boat behind garden island for a bag limit of big sand whiting before diving for a cray and big KG then picked up a squid off the weed beds.

Fark good size whiting there
Fark good size whiting there Chris, are they hard to find those sandies or anywhere behind the island? And is it worth snorkeling the back of the island for crays? I was gonna get my license today after work with garden island the main target. Worth it? Im not sure where else to try down this way

Nah not to hard had to move
Nah not to hard had to move around a bit but between the back of the island and 5 fathom we found them. The caves along the back of the the island are hard to get Crays out of mates have been having better luck out on 5 fathom right on top for big jumbos.
