It certainly was a hard day at the office. The conditions were so good I knocked up a few miles on a solo trip and targeted 4 species. Techniques included live baits, dead baits, high speed trolling, Trolling livies, plastics and eventually Lucanus Jigs that put a couple of Pearlies and a nice Blackspot Pigfish in the box. I hit the southern bait grounds, the Group, the Wave Rider (twice), some ground in 110m and the Cathedrals. A lot of work for a few fish

Yeah it was pretty ordinary out there. I would prefer crappy conditions and fish instead of great conditions and no fish. We ended up with 6 Trag and 3 Pearlies for a very long day. Still a feed but not one legal snap entered the boat. Great shows of fish on every spot but nothing biting.

Mate i put 2 threadies in the esky today, didn't bother taking pic's of the small 68cm one though, there not worth bragging about unless there 1 metre +
Offshore SP fishing has been really slow lately, i'm not too bothered though as its almost trolling season :thumbsup:
cheers tim :)

How do those threadies go on the plate Tim? I often wondered about their eating quality down here as opposed to the ones up North.

Mate i don't eat fish myself (it all tastes like crap to me) but i have heard its better than Jew, Snapper, Cod etc

Rosco, what sort of depths did you come across on the outerbank of the northern channel on the low. I ran just north of the Rufus and found water that was around 14'+ all the way.

Not a bad little channel that one eh Neil! Good leading up to Mack season if it hangs in there.

Well all have to say is, good on anyone having the chance to get out over the weekend, even if it was for a few fish, is still better then being stuck at home working in the yard.
