Thursday
On Thursday morning the weather had improved considerably,
with a clearer sky and less wind, but the swell was still up. I decided to
start at Shark Bay on the rock platform. There was a bit of west in the wind
and it was quite cool.
I started on the west side and could not raise a bite. I
moved across to the rocks on the east side. There are a number of ridges on
this side with small inlets in between each. The surf was smashing into these
but it was just possible to cast into the white water. I tried a few bays and
caught another couple of good Bream – the bigger of the two was over 35cm. This
time I was using the GULP 3” Minnow Grub in the Pumpkinseed colour again, but
on a 1/6th 1/0 jighead. I carried on fishing for a while and dropped
a few more fish – which could have been small Tailor or more Bream.
Then I stopped to clean the two Bream in the rock pools.
When I had finish I took them over to the surf to rinse them off. I shook them
under the water for perhaps ten seconds and when I looked down, two Wobbegoongs
were ready to steal them. I pulled the fish out of the water and quickly put
them away in the keeper bag. I suggest you mind where you tread around here, as
they must always be pretty close by.
