Harbour Monday 25

[stevefish]

Headed out nice and early with the optimism good weather and new gear brings, chased a few squid first up. I thought the jig was hung up on the retrieve and gave a few big whips to break free of the kelp and then, pulse pulse- beauty. Sweet, There's dinner and it's still dark.

Yakkas were not interested in prawns but pillies did the job.

Then he went for a troll along the cliffs for a couple of late season Bonnies as the sun came up.

It was a bit breezy and backwashy for plan A of snapper close to the rocks so back to MH to burley and bait up some interest. Mmm no interest. Nothing. Cold cold water in MH now.

Found my new lowrance elite has a auto shut down feature when you slap the water a bit hard :-(

Found my replacement water snake electric doesn't like turning right - grrr, back to the big fishing 2 dollar shop.

Nice catch there... Better than coming home empty ended. Impressive squid by the way!

Nice bonnies and squid. I could not get a touch in mh on sunday, not even an undersized snapper nibbling. The harbour was a different story though with trevs and a couple rats still around.
