C'von Inshore
Went out for a flick during the week on Wed and Thurs so thought I'd give a quick report. Pretty ordinary weather Wed arvo so hit up the river mouth with some surface lures. Bait could be seen getting smashed and a couple of casts in the right direction resulted in a little Tailor that was followed by by a couple of small sharks. Set the Tailor out live and within a couple of minutes it was transformed in to a little black tip. That was it for the day after a dozen hits and follow-ups from quite a few queenies.
Thursday, weather was even worse but decided to go out anyway. Trolled a couple of minnows around the small jetty which resulted in a surprize Bonito which was used for bait a bit later. Anchored up just off the jetty and casted a few lures around. No more fish only lost lures due to no wire but oh well. Ran out and anchored just off the big jetty and set out a strip bait on 4lb in the hope of a mulla. The line came up tight after 10min or so and the circle hook stuck. After a 10min battle the fish bricked me in the pylons so spewn. Rigged up again and set out a live slimy on the same gear which didn't last long. Failed to hook-up though and up came an empty hook. Racked up a few species on the bait jig then headed over to the mouth again exploring some close-by ground which proved to be successfull. Seen a few big queenies but couldn't get a touch. Hit up a creek near-by and notched up a couple of species on sp's before heaading home. Next time I think I'll turn up the heat with 8lb gear for those Mullaway Hope to get out again in the coming days.
Cheers

How big is the bonito? Hard
How big is the bonito? Hard to tell when it's just sitting on mesh. Sounds like a good day out though

Pretty small
Just shy of 2kg I reckon. Awesome bait!
"holy sh!t, did you see that?"
