Day out at the Jetty...( learmonth that is.)
Yesterday ( Tuesday ) we decided to spend the day down the beach with Alex to get his Competition entries rolling in and we had a pretty good day.
We started out going straight to Learmonth Jetty for High tide which is normally pretty good for a few Trevors and Queenies. We got down there and the water was still pretty murky in places . I normally net a heap of hardy heads for bait but there was none a decent size, plenty of them but they were all too small so we got out the bait chaser rigs and used the little ones with smaller hooks...lol .
Well it did the trick as fast as i could get the hardy's the family were pulling in the queenies, there were plenty there!! we lost a fair few on lures , as well as a couple of mackies and some GT's. There was plenty of action in the water including a manta ray and some sharks as usual.
Alex ended up with 4 Queenies , the missus caught 2 and released them and i got 3 and released them all as well. Axel ( the little brother ) just stop there eating..lol.
A very good day was had by all and no doubt off there again within the next few days.

Great Jetty
Learmonth jetty is a great landbase spot that holds plenty of fish. The old jetty was a lot bigger but the weather destroyed it. "DAM YOU MOTHER NATURE" LOL.
Great report well done
