Yowie Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 A bit of a change from last time. Just to let you know what was not happening. Headed out early to the deep near Lilli Pilli. Very cold heading against the wind. 🥶 Was hoping for an early morning tailor, nothing doing. Pulled out the reddies on pillies and fish strips, plus another just under size. A few little pickers pinching baits, plus a small female crab that was sent back. Nothing on the surface. Headed to the mouth of South West Arm and threw out a lure for nothing. Then to Maianbar flats, pumped some nippers and nothing. A lot of kelp rolling along the flats, tangled the line many times. The kelp gets washed off the ocean rocks during big seas, and spreads up the channel to Gunnamatta and Burraneer Bays, and over the sand flats and occasionally to Lilli Pilli. A new batch from a few days ago. Tried Fishermans Bay for nothing, and the southerly picked up. Headed to Gunnamatta Bay, the wind a bit strong for drifting, but finally a fish, took a bit of line then the hook pulled. Probably a nice bream. More drifting but no more bites so headed home. Just one of those days. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish should be starting up soon. I saw some small tarwhine, bream and whiting scooting about last week, also a few good sized whiting in places, so you will be O.K. to catch some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 A nice pair of pinkies Yowie - so good to be living close to the water. Love to read your reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I would be happy with a couple of nice pan sized fish like that. You are so spoilt being able to still go fishing. I can't even register the boat as they have stopped all boat registrations till these restrictions are lifted. Tried to register trailer but blue slip is out of date, I have been in lockdown so didn't want to leave my home, but they won't accept that as an excuse and now I need to get another blue slip.

Thank you. I like living near the water, but also like travelling about Aus in my caravan, plenty to see here and there - also fishing where I can.

Frank Better than nothing at all. Just received my boat rego renewal, so will give them a call. Those pen pushers can be difficult at times.

I'd be happy just losing a bait to a puffer fish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Ranger Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 A bad day for you Yowie looks pretty good to me. I’m stuck in lockdown too, so no fishing anytime soon. I didn’t get to wet my boat last year due to work demands but now have a better work schedule, well when I’m back that is. Until then I’m just at home until the restrictions lift. Hi Fab! All all is good with you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
