Fished Pt Leo Surf Beach
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2020 3:58 pm
Hey all,
The plan was to go to Pt Leo to chase some Gummies last night The conditions were great, only a light onshore wind.
We went to Mt Martha rocks at about 730pm to chase some fresh squid, picked up 2 in an hour and headed off to Pt Leo just as the last light was fading. I'm not sure if others were catching calamari at the rocks, although I didn't see any pulled in. A few other fishos mentioned they didnt have much luck.
Got to Pt Leo, set up and casted. We were there from about 9 to 11.30. I think I had my line in the water for about 45mins, the rest of the time my mate and I were trying to undo the bloody kung fu knots that our lines were in with all the weed we were pulling in. I haven't dealt with weed this bad in my life. Our lines legitimately came back in a ball mixed with weed haha. My mate lost a fair bit of line, it happens. I think next time I see some weed, I'll think twice before casting.
After getting frustrated and cutting our lines, we headed over to Mornington pier for about an hour to pick up another 2 squid.
Wasn't too happy that we couldn't properly chase some gummies on a lovely night, but other than that it was still a great evening picking up some fresh bait and having a laugh with mates. I'll have another go at them soon hopefully
The squid from the rocks.
