Hi Hiro,
The neaps this weekend wasn’t good for us landbased fishos.
Water conditions were too clear and a bit windy at our usual places.
So I went exploring around the foreshore near the CBD.
It was early in the morning and was a bit worried about some of the long grassers camping down near the old oil tanks.
There was a patch of dirty water coming through on the incoming tide.
I saw a lot of GT’s or skinnies busting up on baitfish further out.
But I could not cast that far with my light gear.
So I targeted this patch of dirty water.
Lo and behold this beauty struck.
It is now my personal best at 106.5cm.
Who knew that you could catch a fish like this on these tides and at this location!
I will try it again the next set of neaps. But I think I just got lucky.
Tackle used was:
Gloomis 6’3” Bronzeback spin rod
Shimano 2500FE Stella
Tasline 25lb braid
Sunline FC Rock 50lb Fluorocarbon leader
Lure used was a Halco 105mm Hamma in Colour Caviar R35.
Very well made lure with interchangeable bibs. 1m and 2.5m diving depths and built in rattle.
Steady retrieve with small pauses.
Incoming around 4.0m.
