Hi guys,
Hit up the surf yesterday afternoon armed with a single rod and some lures. Plan was to arrive at 3pm and fish till dark with high tide around 4.30pm. When I got there the sea was pretty flat which was predicted with the stong northerly winds, couple bait fishos about and about a million surfers sitting on their boards waiting for a set to roll in.
Was pretty quiet and I estimate I walked about a 1km stopping and flicking lures every 20 or so metres. Before I knew it was dusk so I slowly made my way back to where I was parked giving a flick every so often. I got to where I was parked and there was another bloke fishing with his young son had a bit of a chat to him and he had nothing either. Then as I was about to call it quite I had another cast and bang I was on. It was mayhem for about 40 minutes till it got completely dark and I would of easily got my bag. The other guy and his son got into them as well even though they were using bait. I ended up keeping 8 fish of about 40cm for a feed and let the rest go. Awesome fun on light gear and glad I stayed for that last cast lol.
Sorry no pictures but it was completely dark by the time I got to the car and my phone doesn't take the greatest shots at night.
Cheers and happy fishing!!!

Re: Surf Coast 4/08
That's awesome man, we did a similar thing yesterday, no fish (well one small one) all day until sunset and all hell broke loose, a fish a cast for 40 minutes. Love having good sessions like that!
