Todays Dinghy Report
Started uni at 12 today so decided to go for a quick fish in the dinghy before, hit the ramp at 6;30 and was chucking lures at mewstone and straggies half an hour later. Was hoping for some tailor and mabye salmon however we just couldn't get past the herring that were thick as everywhere we went. We then decided to see if we could find some KG's. We drove around for half an hour or so trying different spots until I found a school on the sounder and dropped down some fresh herring and seconds later ollie yells I’m on, he was quickly losing his 20lb braid until the fish spat the hooks, he then re drops and quickly brings up a small pinky, it was then my turn, I baited and dropped and seconds latter was on to a pretty serious fish, my tierra was screaming and I managed to lift the fish till it was half way up unfortunately it spat the dam hooks. At this stage we were devastated and I quickly dropped back down which resulted in me immediately hooking up again however this time to a much smaller fish, after a couple of minutes I had color and a nice pinky of 55cm in the net. We then struggled without a GPS to find the school and buzzed home to go to uni. It was the first legal pinky in the dinghy so although we missed some nice fish we still managed a feed.
