Finally got back out on the water, Down at good old batemans bay, after a few more Snapper..
Started a bit late, as id just driven down from out west, so didnt hit the water untill about 10ish.. Went to a shallow bommy for a spin for a while and scored a few pike and bakers and 1 lone flatty, all on SP's.. Then headed out to look for some structure in deeper water. Got myself 3 legal snapper best going around 40cm, 2 on bait and one on SP, lost a few that spat the hook.. Then i noticed the hook was blunt.. Also scored more pike, some Sg Bakers and Wrasse.. Had to call it quits before it was to late, and probably missed the good run of snapper on dusk, but i had to get home.. Looking forward to another trip..

40 cm's are a good pan size
I dont mind them that size cause I can eat it all by myself

Hanging Rock is a great ramp, I use it all the time. Just be careful on a low tide as it only has .7mtr over the bar.
Chickenleg's Snapper was just over 70cm Great spot there at dusk. I was having a tug o war with something over a sweep. No Idea what it was but it was missing it gill section -------------------- insanity takes it's toll, I make sure I have plenty of spare change

I think I saw him he was doing the same drift where we started from half hour earlier. How was tose whales.

yea, one that came close to me was at least 2.5 times the size of the boat... it was massive... i seen a black thing in the wtare at first, not moving at all and thought it was a log, but lost sight of it.. Then i came up real close, couldnt get the phone camera out quick enough... Did get a few blurry shots though..
feel sorry for the people who dont get to experiance some of these things.... Whales, Platypus (got one lives out front of the house at farm) Wedgies, wombats etc etc etc... |

good one runpus, is that wasp island in the background, if it is, it will fish best in the late evening or early morning plus the headland to your north will fish best at these times.

Great blanks but a bit soft for 6kg line
Not to mention the guide spacings aren't suited to an overhead reel -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
