I finnished work at 6.30am this mornig and had a bout two hours sleep once i got home. Woke up and thought ,hmm what to do. Ahh yes have a fish from the yak.
So off the Point cook i went . Launced from the end of campbell coves at about 11 and headed toward my favorite area near the point Cook pier and started a small drift run with the wind blowing from the east.
The water was very dirty (tannin) coloured, a colour i have never seen there before.
What lure to use i wondered, tried both the colours i usually nail them with in the area for no result. &^%$ i thought , threw lures on that i have poured myself- no result , bugger ( well at least thats the nice way of putting it).
I threw a squidgy on(Mid sized) .Now you will have seen me say that i have never caught a clacker on these things in the pastand yes once again , not a cracker.
I finnished a run of about 100 meters and started to reel in the line and the tip jerked, HELLLLO what have we here, a flipping flatty . It didn't take off when it hit the lure, just follwed with the lure in it's mouth till i put pressure on it , then it was on for young and OCCY(oops old :lol: ).
On a squidgy too , i was perplexed to say the least. So that one came in at 54 cms, not bad for a first fish for the day. What about those ugly puffers , i caught 2 on plastics , big suckers too they were almost 30 cms long :twisted: .
The the second flatty on the line was a bit sluggish too ( obviously cos the water is still a bit cool) and once again on a squdgy, this came in at 47cms not bad though.
So i was happy with the 1 hours worth of fishing.
I took as little gear as possible cos i won't have the huge crate space in the kingfisher and didn't want for anything.
I can't sign off this little ditty without saying ,Yes the gentlemen
were "out " and about down at the nudie beach :roll:
Can't wait till the council close that place for those persons that go there.
