Causeway afternoon
Submitted by jay_burgess on Wed, 2007-08-29 20:24
Went down to the point samson causeway for a fish after work this afternoon. Couldn't be bothered getting any livies so bought a block of mulies on the way up there. Big mistake, couldn't get past the hordes of small fish and even they were a mission to hook before the bait was picked off. Ended up with 5 small jacks to about 35cm, couple were legal but not worth keeping so all fish were released. Didn't get any other species and it was great to see so many small jacks. I'm sure the right lure or a nice livie would have nailed one of the big ones that lurk there. My PB at this spot is 50cm 
Got this one on the last cast, so I took a pic.
And a shot of the causeway just as I was leaving, dead low tide.

Not sure on depth, but
Not sure on depth, but it's very shallow there at low tide. Barra, occasionaly but it's not a hot spot. Usually fluke them on baits intended for Jacks.

Goatch, they were the worst
Goatch, they were the worst I've ever seen them. Had to re-apply the aeroguard about 10 times and I still got bitten.... must be the warmer weather that's got them excited lately.
