Scooter0069 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Had to work Friday night and the weather looked favourable so thought I would get the boat out Friday morning head out about 6 wind was a bit stronger than predicted headed out to about the 60m mark wind was pushing me quickly south with only small spikes motored north toward boat harbour in about 35m got the sea anchor out to see if I could slow the drift first fish was happy moment decent size but sent him back wasn’t long into the drift and both rods went off two nice blue spots flatheads 50 & 40cm models then back to the spikes for the rest of the drift.Pulled sea anchor in and headed back to the start of the drift hoping to find the blue spots only to get one at 36cm wind had started to drop off so headed back to the mark where I had caught the three blue spots was long and the wind changed direction coming from the south so I headed back to another mark towards Jibbon beach to start another drift north using the sea anchor again to slow the drift managed another two flatheads in the 40cm range.Decided it was time to try for some squid something I hadn’t tried before headed over to little Jibbon beach in about 8m after about 4 cast bang had my first squid had one more drift without success it was time to head home.All fish were caught on soft plastics. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Very nice. As I was out there Friday, and there were not too many boats about, I probably spotted your boat moving about. I headed back just as the wind turned southerly, as had enough for a few feeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
