Friday Fish
Headed out to Coventry yesterday for a fish. A few bids around followed by splashing and a few tuna getting air amongst a huge amount of bait. Casted deep divers, poppers, slices and trawled shallow lures around and through the bait ball for around a hour with nothing.
Gave up on them and then drifted around for an hour resulting in a leather jacket, rock cod and wrass whilst fishing with occi and prawns. I also had an unweighted squid out the back on a balloon with no interest.
Had another go at the jumping tuna with a smaller mulie sized and coloured lure but after no interest, started casting into the white water for Taylor. Did 8 or 10 laps of the reef casting into the white water and onto the reef for 6 herring.
finally trawled around a purple deep diver and rapala mackie lure, went over some impressive shadows on the sounder but nothing to show for it.

Yep you can't say you didn't
Yep you can't say you didn't have a good crack. I fished off Mandurah yesterday and managed to catch my first legal size dhuies (caught 2) , 2 sambos and 5 KG whiting. Also caught and released a 6 ft shark, 2 stingrays, wrasse, small black arse, buff bream and a sea bird! Plenty of action yesterday.
Do the right thing and there will be fish tomorrow.

was not that productive for me either
had a late start @ hillarys and dropped on some inside ground around 32m to check if they were on the bite. resulted in a just size dhu , 2 under , 2 stingrays and skippy. at that stage the wind had swung so decided not to head out.
had a couple more drifts for not much, cracked a beer and headed in.
quick trip really and got a feed so ok I guess.
didn't see any surface action or baitballs.
