Bate Bay 1/4/2024 Easter Monday


Recommended Posts

Evening All.

My window is starting to close for fishing. I have approx 3 more weeks to go and the misses will be 36 weeks preggo, so im jamming as much as i can in now.

Went out with my brother this morning and his son (my nephew) approx 4am from Grays Point. Decided to chase some squid until Sunrise to no avail.

We knew conditions were going to be cracker and we were excited for a big session, We push out through Bate bay and stop off towards voodoo point, drifting along the reef edge and the sand we were able to pick up  2 Trag, good size snapper and few flatties.

All started to go quiet so we thought we would push out wide to about 60m. Dropped the lines over within 2mins bang! Green toads. Couldn't believe it again, these guys are like piranhas! So we headed back to wards Voodoo and Merries Reef as we were not loosing baits around there.

Solid trip, and 8 crabs picked up on the way in going home.....

 

PS Rather disappointing with the about of traffic in Grays point who don't do the 6 knots. One guy was doing at least 15knotts, and his dad was congratulating him at the ramp for his stupid antics..... Then you have 3 of those over powered tinnies click 15knotss and going around in circles. Someone is going to be killed there sooner or later. 

 

Few piccies for those who like.
