Yowie Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Headed out to Bate Bay again to catch a few flatties. Before launching the boat at my mother's place, I threw a line out and pulled out a nice bream. Headed out past the bombie to around 100 feet of water at sunrise. Plenty of spikies about, the blue spots were scattered. Just a slight N/W breeze and I eventually hit deeper water where the fish stopped biting. I headed further out to about 200 feet, and with the drift there was a lot of line out. I eventually found a patch of tiger flatties, 2 legals and 3 unders, a lot of line to wind up an undersized fish. Eventually the bites stopped, nothing at all, so headed home. Not a lot of boats out there, certainly quieter than up river. When I cleaned one of the tigers, there was a fairly fresh Mantis Shrimp in it's stomach, so there must be some little critters out in the deeper water. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmk1962 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Good stuff Yowie - another great feed. Now are you absolutely sure you don't want to bring them back on the bite by using an SP ? 🤣 Cheers Zoran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bounced a soft plastic around Jibbon Bombie just before sunrise, hoping for a red. Not a bloody thing. Stupid SP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found them in the stomachs of jewies in the Hacking, maybe 2 of them. One was so fresh, must have just been eaten, about 15cms long. I was NEARLY tempted to take it home and cook it up. 😁 Taste similar to prawns - sometimes they are called Killer Prawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
