Went out to Keppell Island on sat for a fish. weather was 5knot winds, flat as a tack.
Travelled all around keppel and north keppel,conical rocks etc(with about 100,000 other boats)
And didn't see 1 single bird working,didn;t see any bait fish,didn't even see 1 school of mackerel,tuna feeding anywhere. It was like the place was dead.All I caught was the usual smallish cod and fusiliers.
Anyone head out that way and notice the same thing? or did anyone catch anything around keppel on the weekend?
We found 1 massive school of fusilier hanging around a rocky headland, in about 12m of water, tried all sorts of tactics in the hope something bigger was maybe feeding on em or underneath em... but didn;t see anything having a go at em.
I can only put it down to is maybe the nor/west winds had an effect..
That or im totally blind and lost all my talent..
Anyone catch anything decent around Keppell over the weekend?
