A Few Fish From Yesterday
With great looking winds forcast I decided to head out for a fish yesterday. The dhuys were on fire early with six fish caught in two drifts.
Mark managed a new PB dhuy of around 15kg and next drift caught one about the same size which took 2 release weights and 4 16oz sinkers to get him back top the bottom.
After a very short but great little session on the dhuys we headed out deep in the search for some nannies (yes I know they are actually red snapper but down here most people call them nannies, even the local fish shop).
Couldn't find too many nannies but the pink snapper were in plague proportions. Finially caught my first pinky on a jig one species that has eluded me on the metals. Ended up jigging 4 for the day.
Sorry about the shit photos into the sun but I was more concerned about getting the fish back in the drink.

Fish
Some cracker fish there Seaquest.
Never boat fished down that way, are the water depths/distances offshore similar to Perth waters?

Not really. Perth drops away
Not really. Perth drops away slowly and quite steadily but down here you are in 40m of water less than half a km out from the cape. Guess thats why its a surfing hot spot. The depth stays around 40m - 50m for the next 30km out then drops away similar to Perth.

Been quite warm down here
Been quite warm down here over summer but it starting to change and won't be too long before I start lighting the fire and rugging up for a few night fishing sessions in the bay for a few monster pinks.
If you ever plan to come down the best time fishing wise would be just after xmas. Not cold at all that time of the year as well.
