Sunday fish round two

Sunday look like a great day up at 5:30 loaded the boat and we hit the ramp around 6:45,and yes we had the camera. The wind was a little lighter than yesterday and looked like it was going to stay light ,but after the sun came up the wind picked up and the drift also came in .There seemed to be a current from the north which was speeding up the drift .Well we got to the first spot in short time and the sounder lit up.  Everyone was getting toeie as I rounded up on the spot .Ok I called and down the lines went ,a minute passed and then another not a bite.Ok pull up I will set you up over the spot again mmmmmmm nothing .We moved from spot to spot with the same at each patch we stopped at.How things change over 24 hours, fish on all the spots but no takers ,well nothing big,all fish bar two were undersized and all went back. We covered a lot of ground and did get a few small fish ,4 dhuies 5 snapper,4 skippy,1 red snapper ,1 sambo, But nothing like yesterday.Sorry no big fish pics but somthing is better than nothing We are going to have a dive on the spot we got the fish on on saturday during the week so will take the camera and see what is down there.

got out today and did it

Sun, 2010-05-30 22:23

got out today and did it real tough in the NE till it swung onshore in arvo

after a morning of bits and pieces and being unable to position boat properly due to wind vs drift , managed 6 kilo dhu and decent KG,

was going to give it away but persistence pays off. 

was drift baiting that did the damage

Excitement

Funny how the mind races away with the fish you are going to catch when you see a great sounder picture like those, only to be smashed in two by a broken heart when nothing comes up. Unlucky mate. At least you know the fish are there and will hopefully come up next time.

We were out there today Paul

We were out there today Paul and it was quiet as well. Found some reasonable soundings but not much biting except for a decent fish I jigged up only to have terminal failure. Bummer.
It'd be great to dive some of those spots and see just what it looks like down there.
