Submitted by hemi on Sat, 2010-10-30 13:54
were thinking of heading to cockburn tomorrow take the dinghy out but it will take a good 1.5 hrs to get there just wanted to know what fish are being caught and if they jump on the hooks as fish seem to steer clear of mine
.
any info would be sweet and also if it would be a good day on the water (still learning about tides n swell)
thanks guys/girls

If weather holds should be blowing easterlies so the sea should be flat tommorow, great for bread and butterfish, squid closer to shore.

Cockburn
Easterly blowing in the morning and seabreeze in the arvo so between 10am-3pm the better time and sea & swell fine. Fish wise, squiding is good around Parmelia bank. Southern flats down the bottom of the Sound is good for herring/KG's/squid.

fine
10am- 3pm should be the better wind period but yeh you can get out earlier but if you go out further then the water will be chopped up a bit more thats all. If ya staying in close then no probs, will be a sunny day and hope the fish are bitting for ya.

If targeting squid probaly
If targeting squid probaly earlier just before the sun rises or same time heaps of squid then usually, but i think in that area wouldnt worry too much, they hang around near the weed beds with sandpatches.

They do bite on the sunrise for sure but both Ryan & myself do better later morning (boat squiding) especially when the easterly backs off as drifting too fast isnt really productive.
