I went for a paddle this morning with my Bixpy back and cranking, the water was very murky and there was a lot of sea weed, I could hardly see my soft baits a metre or two from the surface, I don't think the fish could see them either, I had no bites for two hours, zilch, nothing.
As the sun got brighter things picked up, I was fishing the northern end of Campbells and noticed terns diving at the southern end, so I paddled flat out with the Bixpy fired up, but I just kept missing the action, finally I started flicking my soft bait and picked up a couple of snapper that were sitting back from the boil ups, which were about 200m from shore by this stage.
I then paddled back to the beach and turtled in the surf in front of numerous exotic creatures sunning them selves, it wasn't my most majestic moment.
How often do folks service their Penn Spinfishers? I'm thinking now might be a good time for me after this swimming session.
