Report:

17-Jul-2010

LW@16.05

Had a couple of hours to kill on Saturday so decided to do a bit of scouting. Came across a small area that looked a bit fishy. Tide was almost out uncovering a lot of weed and rock. Definitely not a spot that would be easily fished on high tide, without risk of tackle loss. Had time for a cast or two so threw out a flapper onto a sandy patch. 10mins later had a flounder (25cm). Small knock on my 2nd cast but no hookup. Had a few more casts without success before my time ran out! Figured I’d try this place again with more time to spare.

LW@18.16

Headed back to the same spot again to see if I could improve on my previous visit. Massive amount of weed about made fishing almost impossible. Was getting a pain in my arm from hauling in truck loads of it (and no fish attached :evil: ). Eventually got a tap and landed a nice plump flounder (35cm) :D . Waited another hour+ with no more takes. Under the right conditions this spot might produce more fish, but unfortunately, it wasn’t to be today :roll: !

I'll be back... :wink:
