I might hit up Kirks for some flatties if the water hasn’t cooled down too much.
I was in 6-8 meters plastics
Cheers.

Packed my gar **** as well, maybe I'll be less useless at catching them than usual.

4litres, Gar Fishing can almost be about "finesse" , , , , I like how you said "less useless .... than usual", that describes me as well. I think Gar and Snapper Fishing are very similar , , , , you almost feel useless , , , , until you hook one, then you feel like an expert when you are reeling it in. Then once you cast out again, that "expert" feeling fades over the next 10 or so minutes and that "useless" feeling creeps back in.

Well planned mate, well planned.
For you the adventure has just started. One day you'll have a driving licence and a car, then the suddenly it gets whole lot bigger.

Bagged out on flatties, tried for gars for a bit after that but didn't get any hits on the float. I had a squid bait under a float for most of the day as I was drifting but that didn't get hit either, even though I saw some decent weed patches on the sounder. Still a good day, I was surprised at how hard they were hitting given the water temp. Had a triple hookup at one stage.

Is there a whiting spot a few km to the north of long reef? I saw a number of boats off in the distance but couldn't be arsed going all that way without knowing what they were chasing.
