Went out from Evans yesterday. #There were several boats and most did fairly well. One group took a lot of juvenile dolphin fish and a really nice knobby from somewhere near Patches. #
We drifted in close for most of the morning and anchored up for the change of tide. #Wind didn't get over 10kts and the predicted 2-3metre swell was a fizzer - almost glassy out there. #Had an issue with the charter guy who just happened to be tootling past when I was pulling in the small jew. #He plugged into our drift, which I suppose you wouldn't mind another small boat doing, but for a charter guy with about 8 rods to keep following you on a drift and probably set on doing the repeat when we did, I wasn't very impressed and told him so. #Not my ocean I know, but there weren't so many boats out there that he couldn't find a spot of his own
Jeff caught the bigger jew (8.5 Kg gilled and gutted) with a live yakka on a floater that sunk in the almost no drift, #I caught the schoolie on a SP on the top hook of a 3-hook Paternoster rig #and the cobe on a live whiting . Mostly everything else was caught on pilchards. #Worth noting that the big jewie had a whole whiting in his throat as well. Still no mackerel for us.
