Went this arvo to check out the water, considering this morning was murky as, it cleared up amazingly well and the water was crystal clear! Just wish I was able to fish sunset, I reckon the squid would have gone off!

well i had a bit of an all over the place adventure this morning... first off i headed to Spot C, to fish for a few biguns but it was too windy in my face and it was low tide... not a good combo. so i headed to brighton.



I was sitting on my usual rock, had the baited jig way out over the weed bed. got bupkis on that, not even a nibble. ended up nabbing a 300gram on the flashdancer, than squat for half an hour so i moved to the pier... too windy and i was over it, so i headed back to spot C to fish the last half of the incoming... got squat and the wind hadn't shifted, gave up after 15mins.



Off to beauy... said G'day to old George who had a handful of nice sized gar. he said someone had just left, who had been fishing for squid for 3 hours and got nothing.

I got two on my first two casts <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> i fished until 7:30 and ended up with 5 all up and two lost at the pier one of which was well over 600grams as i saw him take it.



The big ones would have struggled to be 500grams. so i whacked them all in the ziplock bag and gave them to old George, who forced his 10 gar on me.



Ended up being a good morning... caught 5 squid and came home with 10 Gar.



Flashdancers got all but one. got a few photos uploading, nothing special...

[masejess33]

Anyoe headed out in the morning and where?

rocksy i mite head to spot b then c.

[rocksy]

hang on, your spot B is my Spot C, i was actually at spot D today, not spot C



There is also now Spot E... Which i haven't tried yet, gonna go for a drive later and have a look. Could be a high tide mecca... looks dangerous though.



seriously need to write these down, getting confusing.

hey you heading out tonight or in the morning?

[pisces_australis]

May see you guys a spots a,b,c,d,e, tomorrow .........rocksy what time you heading to the hood.

[rocksy]

not sure ian, i over slept today now my fishing clock is out of whack... i'll probably be at beauy early, and if i don't get anything by 5am i may head somewhere else. the early low tides are a pain for some of the spots.

[pisces_australis]

May nick down to see whats happening ...........depends what my little brain thinks when my eyes open.

good luck anyhow.

Cheers ian

[kgakoh0]

question, what leader knot do you guys use. I have been conveted to uses the FG knott but its too hard to tie in the field. its the best knot i beleive, thin and less fristion during casts on the runners?



i got a couple of new megabass lures. There damb expensive. where can we get these cheaper. I need to get out and give them a try. I need to get of this coutch and get out for an hour or so .

[fonzi]

Well boys I think I'm headin out to Brighton around 330 4 so I'm gonna stay there til around 530 depends how many hits I get hope to c u guys tomorrow
