First venture out to Rotto for the season on Sunday. With near perfect wind conditions, we headed towards Parker point.

Due to it looking pretty Sharky upon arrival, we drifted around Porpoise Bay for some squid, half for bait and half for dinner.

After a hour, we had three onthe boat, with the same number lost again, and schools of them swimming up looking at the jigs. Although wanting more, we had enough.

Putting over to Parke Point, we had a quick dive onthe outside of the reef and it was pretty sparse. Only two crays spotted so we bailed half way through and went to another shallow spot where we got 8, most of which were girls. We ended up with one cray.

A quick fuel tank top up had us putting towards the windmills to get a feed of whiting which were very much onthe bite. Lower bait down with bail arm open when onthe bottom and count to ten, retrieve. 7/10 times we had a keeper on. Even managed a few herring in 10m

Quick putt over to another spot which a mate had given me for some KG's and after catching two of the biggest sandies I have seen, we spent the last hour dodging blowies in 12m of water and decided to call it quits.

At the end of the day, one cray, two herring, three squid and twenty odd whiting. Sat on 22 knots all the way there, and 26 on the way back, which is pretty good for my boat.
