back from busso
just got back from busso.I was there for about 6 days and fished everyday =D on the first 2 days i went spearing at meelup and got some good cuttlefish and big skippy and a few leather jackets. everynight at the jetty we got about 4 squid but released them all. also got some big skippy there. then the last 4 days i stayed at the anglican carvan park with a mate. We borrowed some gus cannoe and went out trolling on the weed. we got about 20 squid all up for the 4 days buyt only kept about 6(they were very delicous) then we went for kgs. and after paddling out past all the motor boats to a big sand spot andnot getting anything for about 10 mins we gave up and went for the long paddle back. just b4 shore i threw the anchor of(a brick on 50pound line) with out my mate knowing cause i was bored. we fished there for about 2 mins and i got my first bite of trip on the canoe(excluding the squid) and i landed a 44cm kg. we caught about 5 kgs. but released 2 because one was undersized and one we felt was to big to keep and it would be better of as a breeding stock. so yeah just got home and it was a good trip. if u ever want some good fish go out behind the caravan parks/campsites. ill try put some pics of the fish abit later

best spot
is about 300m off the Busso Beach Resort - i have a mate who is to fishing what Krudd is to body building but he always gets a few KG'S there - and i've lived in Busso 6 years and never fished there.

well once it gets dark they
well once it gets dark they ussauly are attracted to the lights.. so to componsate either just shine on ur jiggs witha torch every now and then. or put chem lights on them so they shine. or the method we used, use pencil jigs with herring or yellowtail on. we had 6 lines out one of the nights.. 2 with chem lights, 3 just normal and 1 was a pencil jig.. we caugt 4 on the pencil jig and that was all we caught that night
