Had a fish yesterday. It was a bit slow. Tried South side of Flanagan island for 1 very large Taylor. Then the barrier for zero. Moved to the Nyerimilang bank and had 6 all around 32cm just on slack water. Once the flood tide started it was all over. Peeled prawn was the go. Toadies were savage.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Was at Fraser Is again this afternoon - 3 hours of zero keepers and then about high tide managed 6 KGW ( best 2 at 40 cm) and a 46 cm Flattie. As with re-tyred, peeled prawn was the go and Toadies were a real pain!

Managed to get down to beautiful Metung for a few days. Went out for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon. Went back to Woolaston bay and managed 4 medium whiting in 2 hours. Went back this morning and got 4 straight away and then nothing for next 2 hours. After lunch headed down towards Kalimna and fished off Rigby Island for another 10 KGW. Pippies and peeled prawns.

Well I visited Fraser Is again yesterday with half a dozen a bit larger keepers and a nice Flathead. The catch (and release) of the day though was a 30cm bright blue Weedy Whiting - amazing colour!
Wow never seen one before
Though they look like a whiting, they are actually a member of the wrasse family. A common catch round the weed beds in Western Port

My last two trips have been feeding toadies and not much else with just two decent whiting each trip. As they say third time lucky (hopefully).
