finin Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Gday All, Braved the conditions today and not to bad, not to good. Think we saw more whales than we caught fish! Left the harbour around 630am and headed out to around 70m off Rosa, water temps varied only by bugger all degrees from 17.7 to 18.3 yet the water is blue and our sinkers were coming up warm whaich was a good sign. Wind go to around 15kn from the sw but dropped of to around 10kn around 11am, swell was from the south at around 1.5m with about a half meter wind swell across the top. The day was quite slow fish coming up every drift with a lot of water in between. Some great mowies around and trevally, flatties just werent to be seen but got a feeling they may be in closer. Some cracking snapper about our biggest today topped the scales at 3kg on the dot and a very healthy fish, taken on a squid head! There are plenty of fish around but are very tentative on the bite, seems like its a bigger effort for them to grab a bait than they would like. I think the weather systems we have had of late have the barometer going up and down and the fish dont know whats going on. You just have to persevere a bit to get a nice feed. Thats really about it for the day going tomorrow so we shall see what happens. Hope you all had a good day
stevo-72 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 That's was a very good discription of the sea condition at the moment FIN , tossing some plastics at those snapper mite get them to have a crack at your lures. Good luck tommorow
Hammer n tongs Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Mate I'll second that, love your reports Fin, my mates were not so keen to go out for tuna on Saturday so I spent the day maintaining the boat,
