Saturday 13/6/20 7:15 to 11am
Launched Kohimarama at the bottom of the tide - not easy. Went to East Bastion reef and berleyed up. Caught lots of small snapper, not keepers, so around 9:30 went to Karaka Bay reef, where the inward tidal flow was a bit faster. Kept 3 small to medium snapper here but the bite died at 10am. Went over by Bean Rock where the KY sometimes hang out, but not today. More small snapper returned and a few sprats kept by George for the deep fryer.
Poor result compared to last weekend. A number of things were different and not sure which were most important:
- the tide was average at about 2.9m, was about 3.4m last week
- used different berley to last week (mussel/kina last week), and the salmon berley from Smartmarine sat in the berley bag and didn't disperse much, not much oil
- tried out bullet tuna this week, but as soon as we changed to the mullet left over from last week, bigger fish took the bait
- first 2 spots only 4m deep this week, about 9m last week.
Any thoughts?
