Scratchie Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 G’day raiders, Just a quick report from Crowdy Head this weekend. Got to spend it with the family on a fishing club trip. Managed to get out with beautiful seas early morning. Flicked sps early for a few plate sized snapper until the slimies showed up in massive numbers. Caught a heap and slowly trolled them around the shoals and schools hoping for a longtail or Spanish. Come up tight a few times with some solid runs but only ended up with Mack tuna and some solid bonito! Still a great weekend away with the family and we managed to get a rod bent, can’t ask for more! Cheers scratchie!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping to get out tomorrow... although it looks like we’re in for a few days of southerly winds and swell. Typical... holidays start on Wednesday! ?

WW has predicted 14kn SW winds at the heads and a 1.3m SSE to S swell. So, on my own, I’d thought of playing safe and exploring Flyroads area, thinking I might get out of some of the wind and swell and have a quick run home if needed. But if you think it’s ok for a run to Broughton or the FAD, I’m up for it. Flat out at work at the moment but I’ll give you a ring on my next break or tonight. ? Little Beach ramp OK for a launch at dead low??? Edited March 4, 2018 by Berleyguts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But across the board with every boat that went out (25) and some pretty experienced fishos amongst the lot, there was not much weighed in. We had a heap of action, more than all but just not the target! Looks like a fishy place though. Keen to get back up there and explore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for a recon on Friday arvo and just trolled around some areas checking the structure. When we came back in there were a few boats and they all said they got nothing. The next day was pretty lively in comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
