Finally managed to get the boat out today and try my luck at some deep fishing.......which turned into hunting for squid. Man Seabreeze had it wrong. Supposedly 2.5m and easing swell and slight westerly was met by 3m washing machine with brisk northerly making things a little treacherous. Instead of heading out deep for demersals before the ban kicks in next month, decided to stay in the sound and try for snapper and a little jaunt for squid. Zoomed around looking for schools of anything in the sound. But didn't find anything. So ended up on the east side of GI and drifted in the weed banks in 3-4m of water for these tasty morsels. Well protected from the swell and wind. Biggest went 23cm tube length. Kids had a ball, catching their first squids. Now they know how to play them and also the mess they make. Nothing like a day off school to spend with dad as I'm a shift worker..... |

Good going courtz. It's always good to go fishing with the kids. I was out that way last weekend doing the same thing and got a good feed. |
