Shirtloads of weed and swell twice as big as what the weather forcast said we should have. Walked the length once with no result.
Other than the very deep hole at the stairs the rest of the beach seems quite featureless at the moment.
High Tide was high and the waves were smashing into the dunes in places.
As I was walking back from Carls Hole (down the end near Cape Schanck) I saw an older lady get knocked over and swept out. Threw my rod up the dunes and sprinted off down the beach, by the time I got there a 13ish year old surfer had pulled her out. Dude must have weighed about half as much as her, serious display of skill from the young man and a terrifying reminder of how dangerous this beach is.
Lack of fresh bait saw me put the gummy/mulloway hunt on hold, headed to Blairgowrie jetty and met up with a mate and his wife who had never fished before. Saw a couple of squid and a couple of trevally landed, one guy lost his new shimano nano with a stradic c4 over the side when his GF put it down and a fish grabbed the bait, only to get it back half an hour later when someone else landed the same fish.
Toddlers and drunks were creating a lot of noise so I left fairly swiftly after that, again reminded why I like spots that are hard to get too.
I'm dyyyyyyyyying to get some fresh baits out of a surf beach one night, but i feel like frozen pilchards or even "fresh" silver whiting from a fish shop is a waste of time.
