Sunday 6 April 2003....what a magic day to be out on the water. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Went off Safety Beach at 8:00am and picked up three small calamari. The tide was falling towards a LOW low and the water was murky. The wind was from the NE and fluttered past at about 5 knots. Not much more happened so we went out off Mt Martha for some flathead. Caught enough to make about 1.5kg of flattie tails and went back for calamari. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Since the wind had died down, we went into the deeper part (8 metres falling to 5 metres) between the mussel farm and the takeaway shop. The drift sent us slowly towards shore. The tide was back on its way in.
The orange prawn jig got hit straight away with a good calamari. The lazy drift allowed us to catch 6 more with a total of 9 for the day.
Four of the largest calamari added up to 1.5kg. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />: The other 5 added up to 1kg.
Tonight's dinner is two flathead fillets(100gm each) ,four tubes cut into rings, crumbed and deep fried together with home made chips. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

What a magical day. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
