People:Me
Duration:Midnight to 5.30am
Tide:Rising
Weather:Damp and windy
Bait:Rag and razor
Rigs:various
Results:1 dab, 1 flounder, 1 schoolie
Report:Decided to skip out on a nights sleep over the weekend hoping to find a bass.
Got set up at midnight, fishing into the wind and into a nice surf, so things were looking good. Landed a small dab on the first cast, so that was the blank saved. Got the schoolie an hour later, and the flounder soon after. Then nothing. Should have packed up a lot earlier but the absence of small fish had me thinking that there might be a big bass on patrol in the area. Wasn't to be. Highlight of the night was at 5.30 when 3 lads who had been fishing earlier arrived back on the beach looking for help. I packed up and headed back to their car with them. The car was crossways in a sandy track, 3 wheels buried, and the remaining wheel hovering about a foot off the ground. Luckily I found an old cargo strap in the back of the van and managed to pull them out, but only when 2 of the guys got into the boot to get some weight over the suspended wheel. Never thought to take a picture.
Dismal return for a nights fishing, but planning the next trip already. The only way is up.
