Winter fishing looks to have been pretty good to you recently Plane to Sea, nice work!

I haven’t been out since very early in June, but looking out the window today and reading about some decent catches lately, I’m getting very itchy.

Think I’m going to take tomorrow off work and head out. Got to make the most of the light winds and low swell at the moment.

I’m keen to hook up if you’re still heading out Thursday. Let me know?

Muse just head straight out foul starts at about 7m or 5mins paddle out. You will see it easily on your sounder. I did well in 20m there the other day.

Will let you know how we get on tomorrow. It looks as though there will be a good crew, i'm picking a viking taking it out and a swing being involved in a turtle. In at top catch earlier and they had 10 packs of trigger x softys for 20bux I don't put them up there with gulp or zmans but have caught decent fish on them before and at that price they should pay for themselves pretty quickly.

Plane to Sea and I had a great morning at Newdicks today. Very eventful. We met there at 6:30 and headed out to around the 18 meter mark. Both of us hooked up and landed fish on our first casts. That’s always a good sign.

 

The fishing wan’t frenetic, but when there was action is was all on. I took home 4 snaps and John Dory, but released my biggest of the day to fight again. I don’t know how big he was but he was easily a PB. The 4 I kept went from 35cm to 50cm. Plane to Sea also did well with 4  very good sized snapper, his biggest was a horse as well. No doubt he’s put the measuring tape on it at home so I’m keen to know how big it was??


Nothing was straight forward today. I had double hook ups which tangled my lines and another snapper managed to tangle the line around my drogue. When I eventually got him and the whole mess yak side, he dropped the hook and headed straight back down. Unfortunately for him, he swam straight into my open drogue and I managed to use it like a net to scoop him up. Gold!


There was a sold breeze for the first 3 hours or so, at least 8-9 knots, which was not forecast, so we did a lot of paddling and drifting, paddling and drifting, and having not been in the yak for about 3 months my body is feeling it now. The wind completely died around 9:30 and it was perfect conditions.


All in all a very productive morning and the fact it was a mid-weeker makes it all the more special. Thanks to Plane to Sea for being the official photographer for the day!

As SS said another great day on the water. My biggest was 62cm. All the fish were in absolute prime condition.
I can't believe the luck I've had lately 😃
Looking forward to seeing who takes the money tomorrow, I reckon it'll be a pig of fish with all you big hitters out there.
