Duration: An hour or so for each session
Tide: At various stages
Weather: Not much of a breeze during any session. Fairly mild. Dry. Clear and calm seas most of the time. On our night session there was a good surf rolling.
Bait: Soft plastics, jointed plugs, surface poppers, bits of frozen fish and fresh lugworm.
Rigs: Spinning gear was 10lb braid with a light mono leader. Bait fishing was also with braid. The rigs were simple Pennel rigs with a size 4/0 below a much smaller sized hook. We used 4oz grip leads. For mullet fishing we also used a very simple setup. A clear bubble float half filled with water was tied directly to the line with a size 6 hook tied to the end of the line about 8 inches below the float.
Results:Me -> 4 bass. My brother Greg -> 3 bass. Our guide John -> well of course he caught 9 bass
Report:All of the lure fishing was done during the day but produced no fish. The mullet fishing was done just before dark. This proved very frustrating. The atmosphere and environment meant we couldn't get the mullet feeding properly for a long time. Just as the mullet started to feed heavily on our feed we lost the last bit of light and had to head back to our base. Our night session produced the bass.
