Hey guys i have recently come back from a 4 month trip from europe and now back in perth. I have been on the site religiously watching and reading everyones posts every second day i have been over there. 

Having sold my tinny before i left i had arranged with my mate that the day after i landed this friday just gone that i wanted to be out on the water as soon as possible. 

With the Dermesal ban on we set out yesterday afternoon for squid, tailor and flathead. 

Ofcourse the forecast was wrong and was pretty blowy out there. 

Fishing was hard work and to windy to drift for squid so anchored the first spot and only caught wrasse and a batfish then went to the 2nd spot and burly up consistently still only managed on flathead before dark. Was good though because we could see it through the glass panel but the blowies we get to the bait before the flatty could have a chance to get near it so i put on a 3 gram jig i bought in barcelona and on the first lift hooked a nice little bluespot that would have gone just over 40cm. After that only managed one herring then everything went very quiet.  

I was very confident that after dark was going to produce but my mate was pretty keen to tuck into shelter. 

Luckily i was right. 

Biggest tailor was 54cm and weighed 1.5kg.

Biggest squid went easily over 1kg and havent measured the tube yet but its the 3rd biggest i have ever caught going by weight.
