Went out last night for another go at the Pinkies. I found it very quiet with not much action of any kind for a bit. Made a couple of moves and found some fish showing on the sounder. Plenty of baitfish and a few bigger ones underneath. Got a variety of small fish, scalies,yellowtail,herring and tailor. I hung a snapper frame over as berley and it just mysteriously dissapeared, maybe thats why the other fish didn.t want to bite. The sounder showed bigger fish there constantly but hardly a touch. I got a couple of half hearted runs without hooking up for while. Eventually I managed one nice little Gummy Shark for my efforts but that was it, oh except for port jackson, fiddler and one flying eagle ray.The eagle ray put on,a bit of a show with a few jumps and arial action. So that was it for the night. |

The shoulder is still giving me a bit of trouble, but I don't think about it too much while fishing. Just work around it, but it takes a little longer to recover afterwards. Must be getting old, I'm not ever giving fishing up though. |
