Hi Guys,
I went down to Casuarina with two other families last week for an extended ekka holiday break. First morning I met the old man down at Potsville for a quick session before he had to come back to brissie. We headed down to the beach near black rock at about 6:10 and the sun was just peeping over the sea. He assured me that he was there the day before and watching some other fishermen pulling some dart out.
We find a good gutter with plenty of structure and I started at the inlet and worked my way down to the bottom of the gutter. Flicked a range of SP's around but not a touch. Changed tactics and move on to my trusty bait setup. NOTHING. We stayed there for a good 3 hours and did not even get a bit. Still a good morning out with my dad.
Dad left on the Wednesday and I only got to get away again on the Saturday morning after giving my wife plenty time off from our energetic son. I left the house at 5:45am and stopped at the local servo to pick up some pillies. Just got a small bag as I was going to stop past the guy who sells beach worms on the road out to Fingal. When I got there he had his "NO WORMS" sign up, so just kept going and parked up near the lighthouse track.
Once I found a good spot I set up it took about 5 mins of waiting around and then got smashed. Hooked up my first tailor of the season and he went about 45cm..... I was so excited I could have packed up and gone home
Over the next 3 hours had some really big bits but did not manage to land anything. Changed my setup and dropped the gang hook further down the tail on the pillie and then could not keep up with all the action. Picked up another 3 tailor within about 30 mins. Biggest one went about 50cm. Ran out of bait and left them biting.
Best fishing session for a long time, and I managed to feed the skeptics waiting for me at home

Well done steve, shame about the beach session though.
Just wondering what ever happened to the fellow who used to fish that region from the rocks and was a regular poster who often caught decent jew off the rocks?, have not seen a post from him for ages.
alleycat,
I know the person you're referring to. He hardly uses this site due to circumstances.
