http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/images/smilies/cwm11.gifThe morning started off with rain but that did not stop us from wetting a line....We headed out to our favourite spot at Wello Reef.......The rain had eased to showers by this time and there was some patches of blue sky......The wind was a slight southwesterly #of 5 to 10 knots.
The moment the bait hit the water the fish were on......heaps of undersize squire......After the berley was introduced into the water the grassy sweetlip arrived......Had many bust off before we managed 4 fish in the boat....the biggest to 34 cms.....Also caught and released 3 whaler sharks to a metre in length.
Once the high tide past the fish went off the bite. We stayed for 2 hours after the 10 am high only catching more small squire........Dropped in 4 crab pots and all came back empty.
The water temperature has dropped just alittle so the sweetlip won't be around for much longer...Big schools of tuna were seen feeding near our location...I cast a chrome slug at them several times but they were more interested in the bait fish....can't say i blame them.
