well, i waded around in the freezing cold of fishermans bay, mornington for 2 small garfish.
i was there from about 10-12:30. waled all the way up to the fence from the boat ramp. didn't really see much around. one smallish flathead that i missed, and a few nice size gars that were just too quick. Also saw a massive banjo shark. theres really not as much shallow water there as i'd like, and a lot of it is quite rocky, which can be tricky in waist deep water.
anyway, if the weather stays nice today, i might have to give seaford beach a go tonight.
my battery and float performed admirably, and my spear has finally speared something. not so sure about my net. it seems to get a little bogged down i the water, so trying to scoop up those bigger gars that swim deeper is not as easy as i'd like.
cheers
