Yowie Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Headed out to Bate Bay before sunrise, not much swell, and the breeze just a touch too much, requiring a bigger than normal snapper sinker to stay on the bottom. Headed straight out and the spikies were on the bite, 2 at a time. A couple of just legal blue spots, released, then it appeared that was what was available, so I kept a couple. Water over the 100 foot mark, too many spikies, so I headed out to a mark where the water is 200 feet deep. Not much there, a few tiny picks which were probably red spot whiting, and found half a dozen tiger flatties. 2 just on size that were kept. Tried south of the bombie at a couple of spots, not a touch, not even spikies, very unusual. Moved back to the first spot of the morning for a few more blue spots. Only small blue spots, not much over the limit, though I have seen this happen a few years back. Just about all were males. I dropped one good one boatside, he just fell off the hook. Headed back to base and the southerly hit. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of feeds so happy with the catch. I was going to head up river with some nippers, but decided to head outside while the swell was down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always manage a good feed Dave! Yes Chris, it is a feed. Woke up this morning, left elbow and left side a bit iritated. All of that pumping and winding from 200 feet, plus more line out to stay in contact with the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind up in 200 feet of water, to find an undersized tiger flattie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
