Tried Safety Beach again on 12 Feb 2003, water was extremely clear, sun was hot, wind was variable, tide was falling towards low.
Hooked two calamari of medium size. I was watching them in 4 metres of water. When I dropped a jig in front of one large calamari, it shied away. Normally they are inquisitive and will inspect a falling jig. This one was scared. So I changed the colour from orange brown to blue green and hey presto, dinner.
Drifted through hundreds of salmon up to 2 kgs, but none were interested in any lure, sinking, trolling, spinning or floating. Tried bait without a sinker and still no result. Wonderful to watch, frustrating to fish.
Tried the reef 3km off Mt Martha and hooked into 5 arrow squid. These are now marinating in milk waiting to become a strir fry with chinese vegetables.
