Isaac Ct Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Headed out early form Yowie bay to the deep at lilli pilli. First time fishing deep for a while. Collected a few yakkas before heading out then anchored in the dark, slow going until a bit of light then the reddies turned up. Biggest one in the photo was 35 and the other 32, 2 others were just 30 but released. 2 baits in a row got smoked by what was likely decent tailor, big run and hook up then nothing, bit-off. Dad kept pulling up the small reddies keeping them away from me, another just legal reddie took a yakka and so did a bream which was released. The crab took ahold of a live yakka and was welcomed with open claws, probably one of the biggest I have caught. Not a bad day all in all, out early back early. Pilchards along with Yakkas for bait, and a lack of surface action which was unusual given the last few times I have been out. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike, not quite on that level, give it 40 years or so then maybe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yowie, The fish weren't eating the whole pillies, rather taking the smaller cubes fed out on the lighter lines which probably was why we lost a few.

Thanks Chris, last few trips I have caught at least one crab, thinking about dedicating a day to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
