Grain Terminal, Sunday 13/04
I decided to head down to the grain terminal this arvo for a bit of a fish. Got there at about 4pm and expected the beach to be quite packed, but luckily there were only about 3 other fishos there. So I had a bit of room.
I quickly set up, chucked some mulie on some hooks, cast out about 15 metres, then bang I was on. Salmon trout were on the bite. Right up until sundown. I let them all go, but got these pics of 2 that were caught.
They were great little fighters for their size.
As the sun was going down, it switched from salmon to herring, kept 3 for a feed.
A 25cm tarwhine and herring double header followed, took a quick snap of the tarwhine, then released him.
Just after dark, the choppers came on the scene, all around the 28cm mark, just shy of size.
After the tailor, everything seemed to slow down, with the occasional herring getting caught. By about 7:30 bites stopped altogether.
I had a herring out on the 12 footer all the while, got a few bounces on the rod tip but nothing solid. Still waiting to get that mulloway!!!
It was a pretty decent little sesh, got a few herring for the fish curry tomorrow night
On the down side, some idiots down there decided to break into one of the other fishos cars...poor guy got told by some people that had just arrived that his car had been broken into. That's gotta wreck your Sunday arvo.
I hate tools that do stuff like this.

Yeah I have seen 4x4s on the beach there occasionally, I think you can get on down near where they built those 2 groynes. I might try near those groynes another arvo, they've been there for a while now and should be established enough for the fish to be around.
Yeah mate I was using pieces of mulie with a bit of weight all night. Wasn't baitcasting for the tailor at all, they were still biting on a weighted rig.
If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Sounds like a nice session mate, well done. Pity about those bastards breaking into cars. That really gets me angry!
