WP 5/719 report

Post by yepi'mon » Sat Jul 06, 2019 11:35 am

Not much to report but fished gentleman’s hours yesterday on the top end of Wp searching for calamari.

Launched from Yaringa at 1.00pm with no luck until about 3.00. Saw two humpback wales surface just of tyabb bank which was pretty cool.

Made a move Further down south and picked up a decent cala on a baited spike (old frozen yakka). Pretty happy with that as it’s the first time I’ve tried baited. Squid was full of eggs.

Fisheries came past and checked in on an unmarked bass straight boat. Was a little jealous of the vessel...

Moved up to the spit and managed a few just legal whiting (all went back) whilst the sun went down.

Nice relaxed day on the water, even without many fish. Fisheries guys said everyone was struggling.

Sometimes all you need is a few hours on the water for a mental re-charge so-to-speak, where a fish or two is a mass bonus. It would have been a nice winters day on WP mate. Seeing the whales would have been a buzz, it's not something you see every day.
A cupla extra cms on those whiting can make a huge difference with the size of the fillets you get off them. Give 'em a cupla months and they'll be takers. I like them 30-32+ personally.

With those pics on yr phone...take a screenshot of the photo and try posting that. You'll get the same result, and it's a few less mega-bobs, so should work for ya. Cheers.

Great day out Yepi :thumbsup: , you had the reader jealous that we weren't out there with you , , , , well, me for sure.

They don't call it "Fishing AND Boating" for no reason , , , , it is being out there, irrelevant of the fish , , , , Whales on the other hand.

I have never been out and seen a Whale. I have been in awe of other Sea Creatures, but never a Whale. That truly would have been an amazing experience. They reckon they are majestic when seen in real life.

Now, not sure that they were a Humpbacks , , , , they look more like they came out of Disneyland :-D
