Lilli Pilli

[Yowie]

Drifted the Lilli Pilli flats yesterday with nippers. Quite a few bream about, but most were under size. Kept 6, most not a lot over the legal size, the biggest was 34cm. Also 2 legal whiting to 32cm, however, threw back plenty just under size. A fast drift with the big run up tide. Pumped the nippers at Mainbar, and was attacked by hundreds of sand flies in the early morning. The warmer weather certainly brings them around.

The deeper water up from Lilli Pilli still had colour in it yesterday. Have caught bonito several times before in the deep water after heavy rain colours the water. Don't know the water temp. but is slightly warmer than the beach.

Drifted the same area 2 weeks ago, early morning on the full moon. Not a bream to be seen that day, but picked up 6 whiting to 39cm in shallow water. Have heard that bream spawn on the full moon, some of the smaller bream from yesterday were full of roe.
