Clifton Springs Kayak - Monday 1 Jan 2024

Happy New Years all,
Sharing a session off Clifton Springs chasing calamari then kgw amongst the shallows,
Fished 9.00am - 12.00pm, high run out tide, clear sky, full sun and clear water.
Started moving to the whiting spot by drifting for calamari in 2-3m, covered maybe 1km without a single touch.
We then moved into spot sitting in a depth of 0.5 - 0.75m over a sandy broken bottom with common eel grass patches.
First cast with the Gulp sandworm, 1/16 1o, #6 assist hook plastic and I'm into a pinkie (27cm). Next cast over the weed another (25cm).
I then kept casting the sand, two light hops and and wind and managed half a dozen kgw from the first sand patch, few were just undersize.
Next sand patch managed a few more, few undersize, and ended up dropping a few at the kayak as they'd spit the hooks once their head was out of the water.
Kept four kgw of good size, released all undersize.
Tested out my new stablizizers which are great at rest.
Cheers!
