Football ground Williamstown

[Trumpeter]

Took the kids and Mrs out today for a fish behind the footy ground in 9m of water, plenty of undersized flatties kept me busy unhooking and re baiting their rods for a couple of hours. Once boredom set in and the sou easter picked up we motored up the Yarra to the docklands for a bit of sight seeing and a soft drink. Plenty of fish in the river on the sounder with some big arches along the wharves near the Bolte. A nice day out.

Sounds like a good day on the water mate.

try just drifting there instead of anchoring. sometime last week i went to the football ground and went out to 9 or so meters of water then just drifted in. landed some decent pinkies in the process

What is the advantage of drifting?

[davek]

you don't have to pull your anchor up cheers davo

[BIG GAV]

Lol is there any other advantage??

You can do it if you don't have an anchor! Most likely you cover more ground!

[Joker91]

for me its pretty much covering more ground. i was achored in a couple of spots around the football ground got nothing, started drifting and it was on.

Also it just so happens to be a plus that you dont have to pull the anchor up hahaha

I like to drift in ppb I put a drouge out to slow my drift, you cover more ground, most fish like a moving bait keep your eye on the sounder and mark the reefs/channels you come across. Sometimes you can come across a reef drift over it working the reef with soft plastics then motor back and work it again. If you have a gps mark the likely looking spots for future reference

Drifting would've been good to cover more ground and my favourite method for flatties but the wind was a little strong and we were amongst a few other boats.
