Bunbury - buffalo beach

 Just got back from buffalo and ended up with a flathead and two tailor, best I`ve done out there yet.

Got there about 3:30, and after setting up had a 35cm flattie within 10 minutes of my first cast, but was very quiet untilnthe sun was very low on the horizon, getting lots of little nibbles, but nothing getting on my hooks, no matter what size i was using. About 6 when the sun was just above the water line, i got the first tailor, around 40cm. The second within 10 minutes of the first. Went really quiet again and didn't have another bite again. Decided to pack up and left about 8.

 

A couple of guys next to me were in for the night, had their wood and a fire going (Almost worded them up for using green wood, the smoke was thick!), they got there just after me and didn't get a thing before i left. I was to the right of the 'channel' directly in front of the ramp, and they were to the left. It always seems to be one side does good and the other gets nadda.

Also had a guy who decided to go for a drive up the beach with no recovey gear and had never been off road before. He was stuck for a good two hours, and hadn't even let his tyres down before he came and asked me if i had a tow rope. He was very lucky he didn't roll it, given the angle he was on, but one of the guys he was with got a lift home and went and got his 4x4 and they eventually got out.

 

 So that was my afternoon, great time!
