Got my 20 sea urchins without having to move, 10 on 1side of the boat and 10 on the other. The bottom is looking A LOT better with not much of the seaweed that had engulfed the rocks last time I had a look.



Made a bee line straight for pt cook in search of calamari and as I was going along, about halfway between the pier and the yellow stick in 8.5m of water, I noticed the bottom went from flat sand to broken rubbly ground so I stopped and marked it on the GPS so I could fish it on the return. Went to pt cook and after a heap of drifts caught nothing and lost 1 squid jig.



Got back to my newly marked spot and anchored, got the burley out, and started fishing. Baby pinkies were in plague proportions, all ~15cm and all went back.



I lowered to about 1m off the bottom a squid jig baited with silver whiting on a handline and it went off!! Got it half way and the bastard let go, I was soo pissed off, anyway lowered it again and within 30sec I was on again <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' /> pulled in a nice sized arrow squid. Then I noticed a rod on the other side of the boat with teltale squid thumps. I lowered the squid jig on the other side and pulled in a nice calamari. Then another and then nothing,… just small pinkies.
