My mates and I headed down to Mermaids Inlet from Sydney today. Was a beautiful day with the sun shining nice and bright. We tried getting there early, but unfortunately only managed to get the first line out at 10 am, with the tide going out :-( We fished till about 5pm without getting a single bite. Sent some slimies out under balloons, used pilchards with and without sinkers, prawns, yakka - all to no avail.
I must say, I cant complain one bit because the ocean was as blue as ever and we caught a glimpse of two seals playing in the water near the rocks. The highlight of the day however, was the huge humpback whale we saw just meters off the rock ledge.
All in all, as always, fishing off the rocks is as awesome as it gets (specially if you're fishing in such a pristine and serene place)
Cheers!!
