good mixed bag from mindarie

 

 
Total count for the morning was 3 snapper 1 legal and 2 under. 1 dhuie that was just over but went back anyway. 2 black ass both legal with the smaller one returned 1 king george and 3 small sharks.  
 
90 percent of fish were taken on downrigged baits with plastics picking up a couple too.

"Down rigged baits"

Did you use a down rigger to get your catch.
You say you used placies, where they used with a down rigger.

Looks good mate. Another variation is a decent splash of white vinegar (no milk) with ice cold water part. Reacts with the baking powder and gets it real crispy
