Hi guys,

I was stupid enough to go out in the rain this morning and have a flick at IC. Absolutely dead quiet - even the toads weren't around. But I got the feeling my tide chart was wrong - high tide of 11:39 - anyone concur?

But despite the fact it was freezing cold and I had nought a hit, it was nice to be back on the water after a long enforced hiatus

May go out again tomorrow if my cold comes good...AND I HOPE THE TIDE CHART IS RIGHT

Mike

Hey

where abouts in IC do you go?

Do you have a boat?

I fish around Rodd Point sometimes and was thinking about heading out tomorrow. Might see you around

I wasnt too far away from you mate. I was at my usual spot up from the bridge trying for blackfish. Not a bit the whole time I was there. Outdoordan got a nice trev on weed. Nice way to blood his new blackfish rod. He built it himself with parts he got from me.

I noticed that the whole time we were there (10:00am - 1:30pm) the watermark was quite high and didnt come down much. I hadnt looked at the chart but looked like we must have caught the last hour of runup when we started

Did you get the pixy fixed?

Mate what a difference a day makes!

I shot down to have a look in H.C Bay & it was unfishable. The barometer dropped quickly, it got cold, was really windy & bloody horrible!

I'll have another look tommorow.

Cheers,

Whoa a trev on weed? Now that's weird! What next? Kingies?

Well done outdoor Dan and Saqa!

Dang I would have seen you guys as I nearly slinked up to the bridge to cast a few shads at it. But as it went it got a bit windy and a bit colder and I got a bit so I thought it would be more fun to go home and play with some new computer stuff I recently acquired

Yeah I got the pixy fixed...drag is now beautiful I was in two minds about taking it and the Bream UL out in the rain but I haven't fished in ages so it came out with me in the end. Didn't get anything to test the drag or put a decent curve in the rod but at least it was a pleasure to cast

newatthegame check out Jewhunter's reply to your post in the Hen and Chicken Bay thread...it's spot on. Go down at low tide, look around for structure/dropoffs/flathead lies (summer prob more so)/etc and then come back at high tide to have a cast. I was around Rodd pt myself as well. You didn't want to be there yesterday but it's been good to me in the past.

Jewhunter...I think that's the first time you ever mentioned drawing a blank! What a day
