Headed to Seacliff with Scupper first thing on saturday - absolutely glorious day on the water. Water was like a mirror when we launched and crystal clear, which was great because I could distinguish how the sounder responded to rock, sand and weed. There were a few other kayaks out and about, but I only got to speak to one who scored a couple of snook. There was a cobra FnD about a 100 metres from me - I was going to paddle over and say gday but the pesky squid kept me preoccupied - by the time I went to paddle over he had disappeared - so if it was anyone from here I apologise for not coming to say gday. Anway, I eventually got my bag limit of squid (15) and also had a ball on snook to about 75cm. Scupper hooked and lost another thumper (90cm??) and a SX40 at the same time. The snook I caught were hitting the sp's exceptionally hard, and were very acrobatic, at times launching themselves over the front of the yak - very spectacular. A couple of the fish I hooked i thought would push the 90cm barrier, but turned out to be much smaller. We kept a couple of boats amused as we hooked and released these snook (as many as we wanted really) without them getting a sniff!. There were plenty of yellowfin whiting around as well, but could not entice them with the gulp worms - I'll need to rethink tactics for these. A great morning on the water.
). I love the way those squid come out of the water...it is like window shopping for innards they are so transparant.
