bottom fishing off westend
started the weekend on saturday at woodman point boat ramp at about 2pm headed straight to garden island for some squids after about an hour had 5 nice size squids in the bait tank so decided to head out to rotto for an afternoon dive to see what was around no crays wich was disapointing so called it a day anchored up had a nice bbq and a sleep to head out for a fish first light wind was abit disapointing early morning but died off about 9am, wind was coming from the east so decided to start drifting off westend in about 30 meters drifting west wasn,t long before the fish started biting by time we got to about 50 meters we managed 2 baldchin gropers around 45-50cm, 2 undersize snapper, 2 undersize duies, 3 monster sweep,1 cod, 2 red sapper, a few in red fish in sydney we call perch, plenty of wrasse, and to my suprise a nice size chinaman i thought you only catch them up north a good weekend plenty of fish and beautiful conditions.
hope the weather is the same this weekend
cheers warren
