My day on the water off Scarbs!
HI guys! Up early this morning, hit the ramp at Hillarys at 6am. Had the boat loaded with our cray pots and rods in to hopefully catch a feed for tea!
First headed north of hillarys to wreck rock, and put my pots in to soak, and have a pull tomrw morning..hopefully have crays for lunch. There was a slight breeze, so decided it was a great time for a quick drift for some squid. I was still rigging up my fish spike with a whiting, and claire already had her jig in the water. Im sure her jig landed on the squids head, because as soon as it got down she had a hook up. With a slow retrieve we landed it, and i was happy this time not to cop a shower of ink.
We then headed south down in front of Scarbs, and fished for some whiting just offshore in 6m of water. We had plenty of hook ups, but they were all very small. We decided to head out a bit to see if the size was better out further. Went out to 17m of water, and worked the contour lines, to see what was around. In no time, we were into the bigger ones averaging around 26cm..and caught enough for a feed. Claire also caught a fish that looked like a mulie, but had huge eyes! Not sure what it was...but im sure it will make great cray bait!
Was a great day on the water,and the route out to rotto was like the freeway at 8am. Will enjoy some squid and whiting for tea, washed down with a couple of home brews.
