Shallow water Shenanigans
Headed out Sunday, planned to fish inshore because of the strong wind forecast. Had a ripper day fishing no deeper than 11m of water, what small boat fishing is all about!
I usually like to be out pre-dawn and have a decent burley trail going by sunrise but piss farted around at home and anchored just on sun-up. Missed the first couple runs but then the fish started hitting the deck. Been wanting to get onto these little sharks for a while now, stoked to finally get stuck into them. They go great guns on the light gear. Boated 4 or 5 all around the same size and got bitten off by a couple boatside. It was the Hour of Power.
Brother started to feel a bit green as was I for the conditions were not too pleasant early so moved onto a reef to start casting to keep our minds busy. Took a while to find the fish but had a blast casting plastics and stickbaits with the tailor gear.
Couldnt tempt the bigger kings into hitting the lures so nabbed a herring for bait and that accounted for the bigger fish and a couple hungry rats just trolling him around behind the boat. Watched a massive tailor come up and grab the herring but missed the hooks so we ended the day with a couple lures out the back but were just getting harassed by 50cm specimens.
Check out the bite it was a seriously big tailor!
Cheers,
Beau

we also fished inshore sunday, got heaps of those little sharks, couple of amberjack and a baby dhuie, we had ytk circling the boat all day frustrating the eff out of us, tried everything except for a livy, looking back i should have grabbed the light stuff
got the new sounder out anyway for a good run, what a great unit the furuno 627 is, cant wait to get it on some good ground deeper, thanks to dougie a fw member for the installation was clear as day at 25 knots

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Good pic's Beau- did you use
Good pic's Beau- did you use the Snook for bait?
I also tried on Sunday morning,but the rolling swell made it too difficult to get around the reefs.
Ended up coming back inside to catch a few squid.
My Dad taught me how to Fish-Thanks Dad.(RIP)
