All caught on squidgy wrigglers & critters smothered in s factor. All fish caught between 7.00 and 8.30am. Monday: Launched at 6.00am fished same spot first up, very slow bite only 2 legal flatty's. Moved around a couple more spots before fishing on the northern side of the basin in a small bay, landing 2 cracker bream in 2 casts, 37cm & 38cm on gulp shrimps, also lost a good trevally here approx 40cm. Landed a smaller trevally at 32cm. The bream were caught at 11am. The weather was kind to us over the 2 days.
