Fishing for a feed

[Two Utes]

After hearing that the weather was going to be pleasant for a few days here in Melbourne, l decided to check the Port Phillip Bay forecast, and was pleased to find that it was going to be below 5 knots today...so an overdue fishing trip was in order, and was a good way to get me out of my dreary mood.

I was out on the water early, and decided to hit one of my more successful squid spots just out from the RAAF Williams Point Cook Jetty.
The water was a cool 17 degrees, but the clearest that l have seen it in awhile too, and the first thing l noticed was the large amounts of jelly fish that were present.



l could not help myself from submerging my underwater camera for some close up shots as l drifted past. I didn't have to wait long to get one right up near the boat , as there were so many of them.



It was such a still and calm day that for the first time l noted how quickly jelly fish could propel themselves forward, and they were very interesting to watch.



I positioned the boat to get the most effective drift over the rocky and weeded bottom, hopefully giving myself the best chance of securing a feed of Squid, with the use of my Yozuri Squid jigs.

It wasn't long before l could feel the jig being pulled, and a cloud of black ink was the tail tell sign that l was connected to dinner.





The squid l caught today were nowhere near as big as what l have caught in the past, but it didn't take long to catch enough for tonight's dinner.
With the snapper season still along way away, l decided not to gather any for bait on this trip.


.

As l write this report, sipping on a glass of wine, l can smell the squid being cooked, and will enjoy my dinner of fresh squid tonight.

YUMMY!! Salt and Pepper Squid and Chips.
