Mal got 5 and I got 3 of the damm things
on the light rod I picked up a couta almost straight away ( used for bait ) and the PJs loved it - also got 3 tingers in the mid 30s
mal picked up a couple of ting and a pinky
we also caught 5 million micro flatties or that seamed to be the count anyway
nice night on the water but a shortage of larger fish
Sat
I finaly got the grumpy one out for a paddle -- we just headed down to Warnett , realy it was a little windy for her so it was a short and sweet trip
no rods or eskies were taken just a bit of a paddle and showed her the easiest way to lift the anchor
just a few more things to do so she can come out and attack some fish this season
Sunday
I did an after noon trip to Dickies Bay -- for those that dont know the area , it's right behind the San Remo cop shop
it was a bit of a recon trip as I hadn't fish there before with the yak
I launched just at the San Remo jetty and paddled under the bridge and down to Dickies ( about a Km ) and it wont be my last trip there
the tide runs a bit under the bridge and also the channel that leads to the bridge
and yes I had to paddle against the tide under the bridge both ways - not a big problem however on big tide days it may not be for the faint hearted
anyway my sounder is still at lowrance having a gold fish installed or having the water removed one or the other so I would be running blind in most of WP this area however is super clean clear water
So I just parked on a big sand patch 1 paddle lenth in depth and started soaking baits - first cab of the rank was a banjo shark and not much apart from bait steeling toad fish happened till the tide turned
not long after the tide started in I got a realy good run with 5 Salmon to 36 cm 3 whiting to 38 cm a flatty @ 34 cm and a mullet
then I kept getting good bites that seamed like whiting bites but no hook ups and they also weren't taking the baits off
and then ---- a 36 cm Gar so it looks like the sea run gars are here nice and early
so the guys that fish coronet bay or RI it might be worth setting up a gar rig from now on for some fresh Gar snapper baits
