Great stuff Yowie, good feed. Good size among those flathead.

Great stuff Yowie, very similar sized flathead and jackets I was pulling up the other day. Good feed nonetheless.

Thankyou, even up the arm the wind was still horrible

Yep I don’t know why I undergun myself. I always have a squid bait on a heavier line and a pillie or yakka out. Just unlucky today the fish took the lighter line

Thanks Mike, always a bit slow but i would’ve pulled together a decent catch if I had kept everything. Hoping to get out this week again

Thankyou Thanks, always hoping it was, would’ve hated to find out it was something better. Stood no chance on the 6lb set up

Myabe a sliver biddy or sorts, common fish but not many know what they are

Apart from a few trips to Como to try for blackish and a few bait sessions for yakkas and squid, I haven't had the chance to get out on the boat for a while. Headed out early this morning to Lilli Pilli, baits were pillies, prawns, squid and yakka fillets. Not much around, even the reddies few and far between. When there was a little light a jew around the 50 mark took a piece of squid and a flattie around the same size on the squid as well. Lost something quite large that took a squid strip, swam under the boat then line went slack, took of the other way at quite a pace and took 80-100m in one run. Fought it for a few minutes then the line broke, very curious as there was minimal headshakes, but I could feel a tail beat and it wasn't swimming all over the place. A few trevally just over which were released. Pillies and yakkas went practically un-touched. The wind picked up quite early so punched into South West Arm to try for some leatherjackets. Picked up a bream in the high 20's and a just legal reddie, both released. The wind made it quite difficult to detect the finicky bites from the jackets and took me a while to just get two. Lost another good fish which ran me under a snag. Anchor got snagged so took a bit to get it out, by then the wind was howling and time for home. Flattie fillets all to show for the efforts but worth the trip out.

Seen a few boats in the past few days coming into Yowie bay with catches between 40-80kg. One said they got them 70kn offshore , all on the troll

I would probably say it is still a Yakka. Just thinking how trevally lose colour when they die, maybe those strips get lost?

Well done, I don't know if it's still there, but there was a jetty that they used to catch squid of basically right out the front of the resort. Some lovely looking fish, hopefully a few more fish on the troll.

Amazing trip Dave, I was lucky enough to visit that same resort back in 2019, we went in our summer time and had a blast on the tuna.

In the bunnies vs broncos game, the tackle Jordan Ricki (if you can even call it a tackle) was sin binned for, wondering how that is not too dissimilar to the one Joseph Sua'ali'i got sent-off for in Origin. As a roosters fan I may be bias, but from my perspective same sort of contact, only difference Riki made the tackle on a guy without the ball and he was standing upright while Reece Walsh was falling down. Would like to hear opinions on this.

Good stuff Dave, few fish about. Might just get me out this week.

Unfortunately not, been deterred by the rain as my last outing in the dirty water produced nothing, have also been busy with sport and school.
