Commitments tomorrow meant today was the day. Seabreeze didnt look too flash but we thought we would go for a sticky beak north of the cape anyway.
It felt like every bit of the 20 to 25 knot that it was reported to be and there was a fair swell. The upside was that it was like a weekday ( only quieter)
Despite all this we plugged away from dawn and picked up a few nice fish on the placcies. I am a recovering baitaholic and it has been a few trips since my last bait.
We found some new ground and got a modest feed together of pearlie ,squapper and spanglies. All fish fell to "plastics" - Gulps didnt get a touch!
Managed to keep my brekkie down for a few hours but a slice of pizza was my undoing.
Still a great day out and the lack of traffic made for long (if lumpy) drifts. Managed to blood my new loomis placcie outfit - very happy.
Pic shows an obviously ecstatic Timmie with one of the better fish.(dont let the lack of caps in the background fool you, it was howling!)
Cheers
Brendan.
