Yowie Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Fishing mate called me and wanted to head out to Bate Bay, so I said yes, the fish I caught yesterday have been eaten, so need a few more. What, more fish? 🤣 Motored out early arvo, and the Maritime boat was checking boaties again. We tried a drift in 170 to 180 feet of water. Pulled up the flatties, many spikies there as well, plus several tailor that were feeding at the bottom, some of them released. Noticed a trawler working a bit further out from us. At sundown, we headed to a shallower reef and anchored. Burleyed up and pike came on the bite. All released, some larger ones up to 48cm. When it was nearly dark, the yakkas came on the bite, so pulled up a few for strip bait, which produced the tailor, and some were released as we had enough for a feed. Also pulled up the bream, and I released a tarwhine about 26cm. Motored home in the darkness. Most tailor were not much over legal, the biggest at 40cm. Biggest flattie at 42cm, and the bream was 36cm - a few feeds each. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get out for a fish last week, so this makes up for it. As for Fab, have not heard anything from him, he may still be sunbaking by the pool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The occasional bigger swells from the south, but not the constant chop and bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
