Went out today with a couple of mates that are occasional/casual fishos. Usually we hire a boat. Pack the esky. Soak a few stinky prawns and talk shit for the day.
Today we'd agreed to give it a crack fishing lures around the outer harbour looking for a feed for us plus the partners.
But also a way to show the boys a few new techniques and trya bunch of things.
Started off chasing surface feeding schools (probably mostly salmon) for a lone tailor which spewed up a bunch of fry about an inch or so. Nothing seemed keen to eat.
Went and micro jigged a couple of deep schools for one hit and no result...
Found some kelp beds and one mate got a honking kilo plus squid. Not a bad first! I got a Couple of very tasty leather jacket working deeper edges.
Then we switched to plastics and continued picking up a mixed bag through the morning.
Flathead, flounder, bream and trevally all came on the z-mans. Mostly streakz. A couple on slim swimz. Whitebait kind of colour was the stand out. Can't think of the name.
Highlight for me was definitely a new PB

54cm silver trevally on the light stuff that played up a bit.
