Gβday raiders,
Iβve been pretty quiet lately just sorting a few things out and with the restrictions means Broughton is off limits. Thereβs plenty of areas still to fish but the ocean going spots south are not productive this time of year.
So today, me and the eldest thought weβd go back to basics and chase a few flatties in the bay. We really struggled to find them on the run up tide and the wind didnβt help our drifts either. So the call was made to change areas and fish the back half of the bay. We were targeting a good area with some nice drop offs as the tide turned but still couldnβt find any takers. Two drifts for zero but I knew the area had fish. So we pushed in a bit closer to shore and first cast the boy was on. Then again but a decent one. Then again and my day was looking bleak. Next drift however was my turn and I loaded up to a ripper that wanted my lure and swallowed it completely. Then I managed another couple and the score was 3 all. We did one more drift as the tide was now receding quickly but unfortunately no more takers and we called it a day!
Always fun to get out on the water with your kids. Home by 1pm and a couple of fish cooked and eaten, with a big smile on our faces! Canβt ask for more than that!
Thanks for reading,
cheers scratchie!!!
