Yowie Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Headed out to Bate Bay just on sunrise. Bugger all wind and no drift, and swell not too bad either. Don't normally head out on a Sunday, but the forecast was good so decided to go. With the lack of drift, it was hard finding even the spikies, so I kept moving about and eventually found a patch of blue spots, guessing about 150 feet of water, similar to last time I was out. Used a couple of the spikies for bait, and only 2 just under blue spots tossed back. A breeze eventually started around 9am or so, from the south/west, but I had enough so headed back in. No surface action or bird action to be seen, however, that was taken up by a few whales heading south on several occasions. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenno64 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Very nice bag Yowie I was down at Oak park for a paddle in the water this morning and saw heaps of boats out in the bay. The weather didn't seem to match the forecast but who cares if we get out to enjoy the sun:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather didn't seem to match the forecast but who cares if we get out to enjoy the sun:) Plenty of boats, a few jet skis, and closer to the shore were kayaks, outriggers, stand ups, and a surf boat in Gunnamatta Bay. And a few swimmers heading up to Bass and Flinders. A few whales to be seen, mostly humpbacks, but one was slightly smaller and looked like a minke whale.

Once out past the heads there was a bit of swell that gave the boat a little bit of sway, so your missus would not have liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
