adjustedpete Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I got the ok from the to go fishing. I couldnt get out the door fast enough before she changed her mind. (lots of chores to do) Launched the boat in a westerly wind about 15 20 knots and shot off to barrenjoey headland. the swell was about 8ft and choppy. i sent a whole squid out hoping to test my new braid knott, but it was not to be. Prudence being the better part of valour, after 30 minutes I pulled the pin and took off for calmer waters. I decided on flint and steel, by the time I got there the wind had dropped to zero ( Damn). I pulled up next to an anchored boat and asked them if they were getting any bites and the guy said it was very quiet. So I moved up close to the red marker and drifted back over the weed bed. BANG.... 2 flatties in 10 minutes,44 and 36 cm with a bit of squid for bait. Did 1 last drift and decided to move and it was good enough to try the headland again. As soon as I got over there the wind picked up again.... %&$@# ....just my luck. Trolled back into pittwater with a popper for zip and decided to pull the pin. On the way back I saw bait fish jumping in towlers so out went the popper again, with a slice on the side , just in case. Naaa it just wasnt happening for me. But it was a top day out and it could have been worse, I could have been at work... LOL. Edited May 13, 2009 by adjustedpete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
