jenno64 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Headed outside the Hacking for a quick squid bash this afternoon. Tried to collect some yakkas to soak a live but no luck. Conditions were very pleasant and I jagged a beast of a green eye on the first cast. Second cast another smaller model but a nice eating size. I kept them alive in my live bait tank and kept the pump running which overflowed into the hull. I started up the motor to find I was dragging my arse in the water with probably a couple of hundred litres. Hit the bilge pump and it took 10 minutes to drain! I’ll have to adjust the drain outlet in my tank or I might go under one day! Stopped off to soak a couple of unweighted baits in Burraneer Bay but no action apart from pickers. Out of the water by 6 and picked up pizzas for dinner….calamari to follow later in the weekend. Edited June 10, 2023 by jenno64 Typo 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris good sized compared to summer. Looking to target them more now they are spawning 👌 14 hours ago, bessell1955 said: Lucky you realised the overflow was going into the hull. Yep, usually top up the bait tank every 15 minutes but I left the pump on to keep the squid alive as I had no ice with me, lesson learned😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
