JB last week

[reese]

Had a week down in jervis bay, stayed at Crookhaven heads,

Aim for the week was a keeper kingy, back up was feed of squid and flathead,

We mainly fished in JB and between the heads, the wife dosnt go to well if the water is to sloshy,

We managed only 2 good bait squid wind was blowing north north west so squid drift was hard and was horrible round point perp, we had a drif in near the tubes and the wife landed a 62cm Sargent baker, my squid had bits out of it, and no other touches, so tried long nose must have only been picks as we kept getting nibbles on the bait but no hook ups, the squid went down and I came up with just leagel snapper, little pig.

Most baits never got a touch, I have prawns and squid from woollies and lasted ages never a touch pilchards hard some touches, the main bait that worked every drop was squid dead or alive.

Next day we tried point perp again after not one squid 3 ppl casting perfect drift pace for an hour, not one squid,

Anyway point perp was better swell was average but no real wind, went over a huge bait ball dropped baits and I jigged, dad came up with a pinkie snapper and the next drop a 38cm blue mowie, yum, turned out the bait ball was actually mowies, at first I thought is was a fault on the sound till they came up the my burley,

Picked up a few flatties on the drift and a small school of Mac tuna on sp gear was fun fun fun,

Had a quick go for squid on the way in and I got one big one, so few and bait for tomorrow taken care of.

Last day wind was bad and further we went the worse it got then went back to calla bay was little calmer had a drift weather improved so we went further out, then wind came up, then improved, stupid weather, with fuel wasted and weather improving we had another crack at squid at honey moon bay, weather got better and better turns out off the heads ended up being lovely and perfect conditions, I just didn't have enough fuel,

To make matters worse we got about 8 perfect kindie sized squid then 2 stonkers Nd one good size squid, pic dosnt give them justice, once cleaned the tube went 32cm and 29cm with the ones I'm holding.

No kingies but had good fun, the bay is healthy as no mater what depth we dropped baits we got baby flatties everywhere.

Tight lines everyone
